Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): Justification, Law, and the Fruit of the SpiritIn this continuation of the series on the Greek word **sarx** ("flesh"), the speaker examines the profound contrast between the "deeds of the flesh" and the "fruit of the Spirit". The message draws on **Galatians 5** to explain that the fruit of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, are not against the law. 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 asserts that when a person's flesh is under the authority of Jesus's flesh, doing things against the law doesn't even cross their mind because the new life in Christ has changed them completely.**** The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.* When a person's flesh is under the authority of Jesus's flesh, they are no longer tempted to do things against the law.* The law is not abolished in the New Covenant; rather, the wrongful use of the law is the problem.* The purpose of Galatians is to discuss justification by faith, not to throw out the law.* Sin is defined as missing the mark of dependence on God and trying to be pleasing to God in our own efforts.* Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.* Paul's statement "you are not under the law" in **Galatians 5:18** is about justification, not the abolishment of the law.* The concept of "falling from grace" is for those who are trying to be justified by law, not by faith.* We are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, and those baptized into Christ have clothed themselves with Christ.***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 surrendering and giving up on our own power. 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. This dependence is what allows the law to be fulfilled in us through the Holy Spirit. It is only when we are filled with Christ's life that we can truly live a godly life, which is defined by God's law.#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #JustificationByFaith #FruitOfTheSpirit #CrucifiedWithChristSarx...
