The Wrath of God; The Sarx Part 31

Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): Deliverance, The Wrath of God, and the Son of ManIn this continuation of the series on the Greek word **sarx** ("flesh"), the speaker examines the profound meaning of Paul's words in **1 Corinthians 5:5** about delivering a person over to Satan for the destruction of their flesh. The message, drawing on **Romans 1**, explains that the **"wrath of God"** is not about a vengeful God but about a God who gets out of the way and turns a person over to their own desires, allowing their self-centeredness to reach its logical and destructive end. The video refutes the idea that Jesus was a "robot" who was not tempted like we are, and instead argues that he came as the **Son of Man** with a fleshly nature just like ours but refused to give in to his feelings and urges. The speaker asserts that Jesus's perfect obedience rendered Satan powerless and is the foundation for our new life in the Spirit.* The flesh (**sarx**) is ultimately about self.* Paul's command to deliver a person over to Satan is for the purpose of the destruction of their flesh, so that their spirit may be saved.* The "wrath of God" is when God allows a person to have their own way and turns them over to something worse.* Jesus came with the flesh—a nature just like ours—but he allowed himself to be fully filled with God and did only the will of the Father.* The heresy of Gnosticism, which denies Jesus came in the flesh, is refuted throughout the New Testament.* Jesus, through his death, rendered Satan powerless, as it is appointed for man to die only once, and we all died in Christ.* The blessing given to Peter in **Matthew 16** was a supernatural revelation from the Father, not from flesh and blood, demonstrating that true evangelism is a work of the spirit.The video concludes by asserting that the Christian life is not about trying to be a better person through our own fleshly efforts, but about receiving God's Word, which changes our mind and our will, and is a process of being "delivered over to death" to our old self so that Christ's life can be manifested in our mortal flesh. 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 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 #WrathOfGod #SonOfMan #SpiritualWarfareSarx... The human flesh. Not only the biological part, but that which contains within itself our desires to violate God's laws.
