Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): The Deeper Meaning of Human WeaknessIn this continuation of the series on the Greek word **sarx** ("flesh"), the speaker challenges the common human belief in self-reliance, arguing that it is a manifestation of great weakness, not strength. The message uses powerful metaphors like having the wind knocked out of you or experiencing a stroke to illustrate the true extent of human frailty and the illusion of our own power. The video draws a critical distinction between the brain and the mind or soul, asserting that our personalities and behaviors are not fully explained by psychology but are rooted in the unexplainable nature of our soul and will. The speaker encourages listeners to come to a deep understanding of their own weakness in order to fully rely on God.* The human belief in strength and self-will is an illusion and a manifestation of our deep weakness and rebellion against God.* The brain and the mind/soul are distinct, and psychology cannot fully explain the complexities of human will and personality.* We do not believe how weak we really are, and our freedom in life often gives us a false sense of strength.* The biblical concept of the flesh (sarx) is not just about the physical body, but about the rebellious, self-centered part of man that is sold into bondage to sin.* The life of a believer should be one of dependence on God, not trying to get Him to "drag along with us."* True strength is found in our weakness, as it is in our weakness that God's power is perfected and the Holy Spirit is able to take over.The video concludes by asserting that the Christian life is about coming to a point of such profound weakness that we stop trying to strong-arm our way through life and instead, choose to let God's life be formed in us. The ultimate takeaway is that we are meant to live a life of complete dependence, listening to the Spirit and allowing Him to make our paths straight, rather than trying to straighten them ourselves with our own efforts. It is only when we are "well content with weakness" that the power of the Holy Spirit, which is the very life of Jesus, can be manifested in our mortal flesh, enabling us to live as God intended.#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #HumanWeakness #DependenceOnGod #HolySpiritSarx... The human flesh. Not only the biological part, but that which contains within itself our desires to violate God's laws. Join us for the discussions on this fascinating and important part of mankind!What is often referred to as a "sinful nature" of mankind, is known in the Greek language as the "sarx", the flesh. This part of us is mostly seen only in a negative light, because it is so susceptible to being controlled by evil, but yet this is an amazing part of us created by God Himself! And upon creation of it, He declared it as good and beautiful in His sight. Join us as we discover what our Creator was excited about in creating this crucial part of our existence!
