Slave to the Flesh

Being a slave to the flesh is often described as being a slave to sin. Scripture repeatedly shows that when we live according to the flesh, we become entangled in desires that pull us away from God’s will and lead us into spiritual emptiness. The flesh reflects our natural, fallen tendencies—seeking pleasure over purpose, self over surrender, and temporary satisfaction over eternal truth. When we continually yield to these desires, they begin to control us.
