Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): The Antichrist Spirit and the DeceiverIn 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, drawing on **Philippians 3** and **2 John 1**, explains that the true **Antichrist** spirit is not a single political figure but a system of thought that denies Jesus Christ came in the flesh. The video refutes the idea that Jesus was not like us, and instead argues that he came as a man with a fleshly nature just like ours but refused to give in to his feelings and urges. The speaker asserts that this Antichrist spirit is alive and well in the modern church, manifesting as a reliance on self, a lack of dependence on God, and a focus on our own power.**** The Antichrist spirit is not a person but a system of thought that says Jesus did not come in the flesh.* The Greek word for "worship" in **Philippians 3:3** is better translated as "serve".* We do not have to live the Christian life in our own strength; we can serve in the newness of the spirit.* The "thorn in the flesh" that Paul dealt with was a constant reminder of his dependence on God, not a physical ailment.* The "wrath of God" is when God allows a person to have their own way and turns them over to something worse.* Jesus came as a man, with the same capacity to fail, but he lived a sinless life by relying on the power of God in him.* The Antichrist spirit is me trusting in myself and living from my own flesh, my own decisions, and my own power.* The ultimate purpose of Jesus's death and the work of the Holy Spirit is to empower us to live a life of righteousness and to fulfill the requirements of the law.***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 #Antichrist #Gnosticism #DependenceOnGodSarx...
