Episode Synopsis

Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): The Mind, Lawlessness, and the Fulfillment of LoveIn this continuation of the series on the Greek word **sarx** ("flesh"), the speaker examines the profound struggle between the mind of the flesh and the mind of the Spirit. The message uses scripture from **Romans 8** to illustrate that the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God, cannot subject itself to His law, and leads to death. The video emphasizes that this is not just a battle of behavior but a battle for the mind, and it critiques the mindset of competition and a lack of submission to God's law. The speaker also draws on the concept of the law's fulfillment being **agape love** and warns that if the professing church continues to be lawless, it will lead to a lawless society.* The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God because it is unable to subject itself to His law.* The spirit of life in Christ Jesus sets us free from the law of sin and death, not from the law itself.* The law, rather than being done away with, is fulfilled in us when we walk according to the Spirit.* The law is not the problem; the weakness of our flesh is.* The end goal of the law is **agape love**, and it is a reflection of who God is.* The competitive spirit, a desire to be "number one," is a prideful manifestation of the flesh.* Lawlessness is a symptom of a society where "the salt has lost its savor," and it begins with the individual believer.The video concludes by asserting that the end goal of the law is love, and that the fulfillment of the law is not to be achieved through our own fleshly efforts but by allowing the God of love to live and walk in us. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that we are not meant to live in our own strength but to be completely dependent on God's power. The ultimate takeaway is that the Christian life is about having a mindset of living for God's will rather than our own desires. It is only when we are filled with God that the law is fulfilled in us, and we are able to walk in **agape love**.#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Lawlessness #FulfilmentOfLove #MindOfTheSpiritSarx...
