Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgV### The Flesh (*Sarx*), the Mind, and the Battle WithinIn 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 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. The speaker also refutes the misconception that the law is the problem, asserting that we have a **flesh problem** instead—the inability to obey God's perfect law in our own strength.---- The flesh profits nothing, and its mind is hostile toward God.- The mind set on the Spirit leads to life and peace.- The law is spiritual and holy, but the flesh is sold into bondage to sin.- We do not have a law problem; we have a flesh problem.- The "spiritual" war is fought in the mind, as our minds are either set on the Spirit or the flesh.- The Bible presents two distinct ways to live: being led by the Spirit or being led by the flesh.- Jesus's victory over the flesh, and His perfect obedience, is our hope and the example we are to follow.---The video concludes by asserting that the "spiritual" war is not about demons and angels fighting over the planet, but a war for our minds. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that we are in a battle to keep our minds set on the Spirit. The ultimate takeaway is that the Christian life is about a personal, faith-based relationship with God, where we understand 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 fleshly strength. It is only when we are filled with God that we can truly live the life that He intended for us.---#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Romans8 #SpiritualWarfare #MindOfTheSpiritSarx...
