Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): The Opposition of Flesh and Spirit, and the Kingdom of GodIn this continuation of the series on the Greek word **sarx** ("flesh"), the speaker examines the profound opposition between the flesh and the spirit. The message, drawing on **Galatians 5**, explains that the "deeds of the flesh" and the "fruit of the Spirit" are in direct opposition to one another. The video refutes the idea that being "under grace" means that the law is abolished, arguing instead that the law is a perfect moral standard that reveals our need for a Savior. The speaker also critiques the idea of "doing the things you please," asserting that it is a manifestation of the flesh, and that the Christian life is about living for the will of God, not for our own desires. The talk emphasizes that the **"kingdom of God"** is not just about getting to heaven, but about God being king in our lives now.**** The flesh and the spirit are in opposition to one another, and we have only two choices.* When you are walking by the spirit, you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.* The "deeds of the flesh" are the results of our own efforts, while the "fruit of the Spirit" is produced by spending time with God and His Word.* The kingdom of God is a present reality where God is our King and we are living according to His will.* The "wrongful use of the law," as seen in the book of Galatians, was the attempt to justify oneself through Jewish customs after already being justified by faith in Christ.* The "circumcision of Christ" is the removal of the flesh, allowing us to no longer live by our own strength.* The Christian life is a process of not doing the things that you please but instead doing the will of God.***The video concludes by asserting that the Christian life is not about trying to be a better person through our own fleshly efforts, which leads to a life of doing what we want. The ultimate takeaway is that we were created to be dependent on God, and that true utopia—a peaceful Earth—can only exist when God is King and we are living by His law. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that sin is missing God's mark and instead hitting the mark of me and my own desires. 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 #Galatians5 #WalkByTheSpirit #KingdomOfGodSarx...
