Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): The Two Ways to Live LifeOriginal Title: "The Sarx Part 4"In this continuation of the series on the Greek word sarx ("flesh"), the speaker examines the two distinct choices for living life: according to the Spirit or according to the flesh. The message argues that there is no compromise between these two paths. The video draws on key scriptures from John and Romans to illustrate that the flesh profits nothing, and that apart from God, our efforts are meaningless. The speaker also critiques the idea that we are now "under grace" and therefore do not need God's law, arguing that the law is spiritual and holy, but the flesh is sold into bondage to sin and cannot keep it.* The Bible presents two distinct choices for living: that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit.* The flesh profits nothing, and apart from God, our efforts are "a lot of nothing."* The law is spiritual, but the flesh is sold into bondage to sin.* We do not have a law problem; we have a flesh problem.* The law has not been done away with; it is still the moral standard for life.* We are not justified by the law, but we are not free from it as a moral standard.The video concludes by asserting that many people today are trying to fix themselves through their own efforts, which the Bible says profits nothing. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves. The ultimate takeaway is that we were created weak on purpose so that we would choose to rely on the life of God in us rather than our own fleshly strength. It is only when we are filled with God that we can truly live the life that He intended for us.#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Romans7 #LawVsGrace #SpiritualWarfareSarx... The human flesh. Not only the biological part, but that which contains within itself our desires to violate God's laws. Join us for the discussions on this fascinating and important part of mankind!What is often referred to as a "sinful nature" of mankind, is known in the Greek language as the "sarx", the flesh. This part of us is mostly seen only in a negative light, because it is so susceptible to being controlled by evil, but yet this is an amazing part of us created by God Himself! And upon creation of it, He declared it as good and beautiful in His sight. Join us as we discover what our Creator was excited about in creating this crucial part of our existence!
