This is one Bible study you don't want to miss. Phil, Jase, and Zach wade deep into what role human beings play when we do good and what role the Holy Spirit plays. They also discuss how the Spirit transforms your heart over time, what sin really is, and how faith works.

[@jondemeester5587]

Jase is focussing on the death of the OLD man and Phil is focussing on the birth of NEW man.

[@davemetz7368]

You know, you just summed it up !!

[@TheOriginalFreak]

I hate semantic arguments not properly delivered. It seems Jase is trying to stress that Jesus/THS/God being in you is like some Disney movie with little creatures pulling levers and pushing switches inside a person. I'm with Phil. Yes Jesus/THS/God is in us, but they are PART of us, not some beneficial parasite living in there that just happens to do good. Yes the OLD 'I' is dead, but there is still an "I" in layman's terms, though to be more grammatically accurate the phrase should be "we" can do good as in "I + Jesus/THS/God".

[@LordTimothyMcKay]

As with most things, it's BOTH. We are not yet in our perfect, renewed bodies. So our imperfect shells are still a part of it as is our own unique personalities. Otherwise we would see all 4 gospels as carbon copies, in stead they are from the unique lens of perspective and moment of faith each author brought to the work of writing.

[@leahjensen8643]

Perfectly summed it up 🤣

[@randythennis4583]

I believe that the holy spirit guides me to live a godly life in making godly decisions

[@jamesjeffers2704]

Great show! Just a thought: the book of James talks about in 2:18 “I will show you my faith by my works.” Gentlemen because we are crucified with Christ and adopted sons and daughters our desire and actions will reflect it. This is Sanctification and it’s only worked out through faithfulness and the Holy Spirit. We have two natures the Flesh and the Spirit. Before our salvation we only knew sin because we were sin. But because we have been saved by grace our works and deeds will prove it. Matthew chapter 7 “not every one who says to me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of God, but he who does the will of my father.”

[@Laststand784]

Amen.. You are right..

[@dhedges3170]

Yes. We have to say yes to what the Holy Spirit is leading us to do. Therefore we can do good just by saying yes and completing what God is wanting us to do.

[@skatedog8233]

I Agree 💯! So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. Matthew 7:17‭-‬20 ESV

[@Chef_2k]

Amen God bless

[@jayquellen1335]

I love how Zach articulates the gap between the concepts of: 1) Phil desiring to obey Jesus by pleasing Him through actions motivated by his heart matured by the Holy Spirit, AND 2) Jase admitting that he cannot desire to obey Jesus UNLESS the Holy Spirit motivates his heart to do so. I love Zach! Thank you, brother!

[@andrewnygren7131]

I like what Jase is saying. The only good we as humans can do is accepting the Holy Spirit. It’s the Holy Spirit that does our good works. So on my gravestone I’d want it to say that I was a child of God, not a good man

[@JesusIsTheLightAndway]

I have hope that there are lots of people that read comments that pray. So y’all that will pray for me. I’m an addict that is trying to get help and get sober.

[@cogpastorc]

It's a day by day reliance on God. Sometimes minute by minute. Trust in Gods ability. You do what you can but trust in Gods ability to keep you sober. Also discipline yourself. Don't go to the places that you should not. Don't hang around the people that are a bad influence. Pray for Gods help.

[@ILadyTexI]

I encourage you to read God's word daily. Addiction is in the mind where the enemy messes with your thoughts and implants lies. Renew your mind through the washing of His word. The more you grasp who God is the more empowered you will be as His child. And you can only get to really know Him by reading His word. To make it easy get yourself a one year bible. Get one that's divided into daily old testament new testament psalms and proverbs readings. Spend some time in prayer daily. Ask Him to speak to you every day as you read His word. Truly commit yourself to Him. Then...get ready for your life to change! My mother has struggled with alcohol for over 20 years and it wasnt until she got serious about the things I've just suggested that she finally got set free from it. Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus! I will pray for you!

[@jacobrogers2478]

I understand what your saying Jase! I don’t do good! I make a decision to let God that is the Holy Spirit do good through me. The good i do is him and him alone!

[@cogpastorc]

I think Paul was talking about the old man is now dead. Then you are a new man that desires to do what is right because the Holy Spirit now lives in us helping us to do what is right. Indeed it is Him working in the believer.

[@stevespra1]

Jase, I agree with you because of this. Every time I entertain the thought that "I got this" when it comes to making my own decisions about what is good for me to do, I fail. The lesson of my righteousness being as filthy rags is not just a verse to me. It has been proven over and over. It is The Holy Spirit that gives me any desire to do good and if I allow myself, my tendencies are to take credit for those acts that would never have been my idea but for The Spirit of God living in me.

[@tonywolfemusic5920]

They needed to break out the part where he who abideth in Christ sinneth not. Phil should have hammered that home because I believe that was his intent and idea all along, but make no bones about it, abiding in Christ is a daily moment by moment choice that includes saying yes to the Holy Spirit’s prompting and no to worldliness.

[@patrickyoung5272]

This is what bible study is supposed to be I believe. Both are arguing different points and I agree with both. One is personal behavior and once you’ve surrounded and have your bearings about you, you can finally go around doing good (helping fellow man) This is what I gained from this bible study “debate”. The apple does not fall from the tree. Awesome as always

[@conniemiller411]

A.A.Ron Davis, I was a person who transgressed against divine law by committing immoral acts. Once I accepted Jesus into my heart, I recognized my lost state being apart from God, that forgiveness had been provided by Jesus. I renounced my sinful independence status and Jesus defined who I was created to be....I’m improved with him in my heart.

[@rtgray7]

@A.A.Ron Davis She did not say the Holy Spirit is a sidekick. That's a classic straw man. When God saves us, he doesn't take away our freewill. He makes all things new and gives us a new "wanter". He doesn't want robots. He has all glory, with or without you and me. When God tells us, "welcome in my good and faithful servant". Is He welcoming himself?? We were "buried with Christ in death" BUT "raised with him in life"! Christ works with and through us!

[@thefarm4674]

It’s Jesus in you. You don’t have the ability to come to god or do good. He chooses who he wants saved and comes to you then does good through you

[@tinasimcoe8363]

I believe the spirit lives in me and guides me. The issue comes when I stumble and sin. If "I" were dead and it's only the spirit in me, then I would not be to blame? I believe these semantic issues are the reason we have so many religions and make it hard to bring unbelievers to Christ, because they feel even we can't agree. Sometimes we need to let these things go. I work at a job that has me alone and working outside year round. Your podcast has filled my time with direction for my walk with Jesus. Thank you.

[@conniemurphree3540]

Jase is so busy thinking about what he is going to say, he is not listening to Phil. Phil has it right.

[@hbobettencourt3334]

I like what Mr. Phil is saying, I like to think about the “doing good” as us being the vehicle that transports the blessings that The Holy Spirit motivates us to do. Because we are a new creature born again with His Holy Spirit in us we now trust and want to believe Him and obey Him in serving others. His Holy Spirit in us Motivates us. We can do good and we can ignore His prompting. Love You Brothers! Great Conversation.

[@walkert.4993]

What about Jews. Muslims. And atheist that do good? Such as feeding the poor, clothing and housing the homeless. Giving to charity...although those are only works they are still good acts. Is it still the Holy Spirit at work in them?

I always say.. ‘If you see any good in me, it’s Jesus.’ I was raised in a difficult situation and I understand that anything good in me came about through the influence of the Holy Spirit and those influenced by Him. That’s my personal testimony. 💜✝️😉 I guess the point is we are fully dependent on God. We’ll never be at a place where we are independently good.

[@heavenbound358]

Once again it is Phil with the correct interpretation. It is Christ in you that makes it possible to do good. The old man is dead yet you still SPEAK, WALK, SEE AND THINK!! So if the old man is dead how is that possible?? Its possible because you are now one in and with CHRIST. JUST AS CHRIST AND HIS FATHER ARE ONE.

[@johnkorte4570]

I think Jace and Phil are not hearing each other. For what I heard was Jace acknowledge that any good that comes out if him is from the Holy Spirit and not Jace. I agree with that. I think what Phil heard was that Jace and every other believer cannot go around and do good. I think that's where the mis communication happened.

[@thefarm4674]

Jase hit the nail on the head. He’s dead on!

[@tonymalin2589]

If only our motive to do good was to reveal Christ in you and not receive accolades for the good we do. When my motives aren't in check, I find myself striving for recognition for the good works as supposed to witnessing to others Jesus Christ in me. That said, pursing good works for God's glory using good works to share the gospel, this fulfills the purpose of serving others in Christ.

[@jondemeester5587]

Jase and Phil are saying the same thing. They are putting the emphasis on different points.

[@denwagner]

Agree!!!

[@andyisarobot3849]

I definitely like what Jase is saying for the simple fact that for 32 years I went to church and did “good things” and was known as being a good boy or a good young man. When I was truly born again about 2 1/2 years ago, I finally realized that I believed that I was saved my entire life because of things that I did. “I” said the prayer, “I” walked the isle, “I” read my Bible, “I” told people about the gospel of Jesus Christ. It wasn’t until I was regenerated by the Holy Spirit that I finally understood that I was counting on my righteousness to be saved. So basically...Cross + My Works = Salvation. This is what Paul was opposing in the book of Galatians. I’ll even take it a step further and say that I believe that faith is a gift from God and not something you can do on your own. I think Paul tells us to do good but then let’s us know ultimately that it’s not us but Christ in us.

[@dfischer1709]

well said!

[@jenniferdane4565]

One of the best Christian men I've ever known said both of these things before., I once complimented him for something he did it said, he replied, "the glory belongs to God, not me. " Same man named Micha, when I said your name means 'like God ' He said. , "well, I am nothing like God " therefore i believe both if you here. Sometimes we can get un our own way, but more importantly can lead someone wrong, if they dont have the word to merely here our interpretation without the word would be insufficient

[@krtistinwitt]

All glory goes to God! Amen Jase!

[@KentPickslay]

I'm with Phil on this one because the I that is being commended to do good is the new I that has been reborn and led by the Spirit. The I that has been crucified in Christ is the old man. Phil is focussed on our new identity in Christ. If we are focussed on our new identity in Christ, we are more likely to do good and glorify Christ who lives in us. Constantly reminding ourselves that we are bad, sinners, etc impacts how we live. Part of being good is being humble and thankful realising that my goodness wouldn't be possible without the Spirit living in me.

[@darellcanup681]

GREAT episode. Jace you are 100% correct. Our family has gone through this very debate for 30 years. We go through it under the question of "once saved always saved" or not, but it is the same debate. So let me ask you Phil this one question. The things you do today that are good, feeding the homeless, giving to the poor, spreading the Word of God, would you have done them before the Holy Spirit came into your heart? Then how can you say it is you doing good and not Him that is living through you? Another way to phrase it is "living in the Spirit". When you submit your actions to the Spirit within you then you do Godly things, but that is God working through you, not you. When you chose to live in your own strength (lose your temper, or fall to another temptation) you are living in YOUR strength and it never ends well. We make choices constantly in every thing we do and when we chose OUR way we are not good, but when we chose to live in the Spirit and let Him make our decisions we act on the Good within us. Great show, loved it and love you guys, you are truly a blessing. Never stop studying/discussing the Word.

In sanctification, the Holy Spirit "works in you , both to will and to work " according to God's purpose, enabling His people to fulfill their new, godly desires( Philippians 2:12,13). Christian's become increasingly Christlike, as the moral profile of Jesus ( "the fruit of the Spirit") is progressively formed in them (2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 4:19; 5:22-25). Always remember, God calls His children to holiness, and graciously gives what He commands (1 Thesssalonians 4:4, 5:23). Love your show!!

If one has made a decision to serve God it is of Grace not of man's own free will because the heart is wicked and evil we where conceived and born in sin man cannot and will not make a decision to serve the Lord unless God has made that possible by the means of God's Grace.

You still wonder? Ask God not Phil, you who calls on his name is saved, are you not? And all things we do not understand, but that his grace is sufficient, Amen

God continue to bless you!!

@32:45 - Best way to explain what Jase is saying is like this. What Jase is saying is that life is like riding a bicycle. In the natural, we ride that bike and our hands are on the handlebars. When we are saved, we take our hands off the handle bars, and Christ steers. We still peddle the bike, but Jesus is steering. That gives us the same picture of works moving forward, but the direction is guided by God.

Any good you see is Jesus in me.🙂

We are still flesh, sin will always be, reconciliation is only through Jesus, we know this, it is always a struggle to do good and bad

[@jackschultz6673]

Phil you are a good man you have been saved all of your family are blessed. I have sinned just as you. Pretty much same as you have testified. I did the same. I love God Jesus and the holy spirit. I have repented and accept Jesus as my savior. You are forgiven. Love you all . Ronda from ky.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

[@darkrey_BriesVersion]

If you're no longer living and therefore can't do good, then wouldn't that also mean that you can't do evil either? I'm more on the Phil's side of the argument on this one I think

[@jeffstumpf9129]

Phil, the kids are right this time.
