Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): Freedom, Love, and Serving One AnotherIn this continuation of the series on the Greek word **sarx** ("flesh"), the speaker examines the profound biblical concept of freedom, arguing that it is not about the freedom to serve oneself, but the freedom to love and serve one another. The message draws on key scriptures from **Galatians** and **Romans** to illustrate that the flesh sets its desires against the spirit and that nothing good dwells in the flesh. The video refutes the common misconception that Jesus died so we wouldn't have to obey the law, asserting instead that he kept the law so his life could be manifested in us, enabling us to obey it.* The flesh (sarx) is the manifestation of the "self" and its desire is to do what it pleases.* The spirit opposes the desires of the flesh.* Nothing good dwells in the flesh, and the goal is not to "get better" but to have a complete change to a new person.* The flesh is an opportunistic enemy that takes advantage of our freedom to serve ourselves.* God's opposite of making provision for the flesh is to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and to serve one another through love.* The word for lust (epithumos) is a desire that goes beyond the normal thoughts of the mind, and it is rooted in the flesh.* The law defines love, and love does no wrong to its neighbor.* Agape love is defined as being consistent, even when no one is watching.The video concludes by asserting that the faithfulness of God's love does not depend on our feelings, and that this love is consistent and does not fail. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that we are often too busy taking care of our "self" to receive and allow God's love to manifest itself through us. The ultimate takeaway is that the purpose of Jesus's death and the work of the Holy Spirit is to empower us to love and serve one another, which is the true definition of biblical freedom. This is a love that comes from another "planet," and it is the work of the Spirit in us, not our own fleshly efforts.#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #FreedomInChrist #Love #SpiritualWarfareSarx...
