Welcome to Empowered Bible Studies

Bible study is essential to our Christian walk. As we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives. This is what has inspired me to do an online Bible study.

Many years ago my husband introduced me to a commentary on the book of Colossians and I was so blessed as the Scripture came to life before my very eyes. Since that day we have developed an extensive library and enjoy studying God's Word.

I have prepared some Bible studies that I would like to share with you. My prayer is that they will bless you as much as they have blessed me in preparing them. I pray your life is touched and that it would inspire you to live every moment of every day for Christ.

Dead Faith or Saving Faith

Anybody can profess to be a Christian, but if that profession of faith is just lip service, then it is a dead faith.  However, if that profession of faith is truly a heart changing, life changing experience in the One True God, then and only then is it a true saving faith.

The Late Greek scholar Spiros Zodiahties said 'Faith which implants God's nature in the heart of man is a saving faith, and the faith which does not is not saving faith.'

We see in James 2:18 'But someone will say, 'you have faith and I have works. Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works.'  NKJV

In other words, we need to walk the talk.  You can have a fruit tree, but if it doesn't bear fruit it is useless. The same goes for faith, you can profess to have faith, but if your life does not produce fruit then it is useless - it is dead.  Your faith should be revealed through your works.

'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.  Against such there is no law.' Galatians 5:22-23
