He defines the lusts of the flesh as any way of thinking or behavior that contradicts the Word of God. Furthermore, he points us to John 6:63 to explain that walking in the Spirit means adhering to the words of Jesus, cautioning us against thinking beyond what is written. He also references Hebrews 6:1 to highlight the six doctrines of Christ: repentance from dead works, faith toward God, the doctrine of baptism, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.  Joseph cites Hebrews 6:9-12 to emphasize the other aspects of salvation that we are called to embrace. He also reveals that the greatest expression of fulfilling the lusts of the flesh is unbelief. He urges us to read Scripture regularly to avoid being trapped in a fleshly mindset. February 15, 2026
