Living with God

What does it mean to truly live with God? In this thoughtful series, Brother L.G. Sargent explores the foundations of discipleship and the intimate relationship God desires with His people. Through Scripture, he shows how creation, faith, sacrifice, and the life of Christ all point to a calling that transforms both heart and mind. These studies are not only doctrinal but deeply practical, guiding believers to walk with God in humility, obedience, and hope of ultimate redemption.

A Living Relationship

The series begins by looking at creation as the foundation of a living relationship with God. The beauty and order of the world were designed to draw mankind into fellowship with the Creator, who made man in His image to exercise faith and obedience. This study shows that every doctrine is meant to strengthen our relationship with God and remind us of His protective love in creation.

The Way of Approach

This class considers how men and women may approach a holy God. Using the imagery of the tabernacle and sacrificial law, Brother Sargent explains that the way to God must be on His terms. Faith, humility, and obedience are essential, for without them the discipline of approach becomes an empty ritual. True worship opens the heart to God’s holiness and presence.

God’s Means of Redemption

Here the focus turns to the principle of sacrifice as the greatest means of God’s communication with man. The sin and burnt offerings illustrated both the denial of self and the dedication of life to God. Fulfilled in Christ’s perfect obedience, sacrifice restores unity where sin brought separation, reconciling men to God and to one another.

Living in Christ

This study reflects on the meaning of baptism as union with the death and resurrection of Christ. Baptism is not only a symbol but an entrance into newness of life, a covenant of love and transformation. Believers are called to grow into the likeness of God, reflecting His mercy, faithfulness, and truth in their daily lives.

Judgment to Come

The fifth class emphasizes the certainty and impartiality of God’s judgment. Brother Sargent explains that Christ, as both Son of God and Son of Man, has been given authority to judge. This judgment is righteous, without respect of persons, and reveals the final separation between life and death, between those who walk in faith and those who reject God’s way.

We Shall Be Like Him

The series concludes with a vision of the ultimate purpose of living with God—the redemption of the body and the manifestation of the sons of God. Drawing on Romans, Colossians, and Revelation, this class shows how God’s purpose is to unite all things in Christ, so that His people may shine with His glory as the perfected bride of the Lamb.
