Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): The Inability of the Law and the Power of the SpiritOriginal Title: "The Sarx Part 7"In this continuation of a series on the Greek word sarx ("flesh"), the speaker examines the profound relationship between the flesh, the law, and the Holy Spirit. The message uses scripture from Romans 7 to explain that the law is spiritual and holy, but the flesh is sold into bondage to sin and is weak. The video refutes the common misconception that the struggle with sin is a "law problem," arguing instead that we have a **flesh problem**—the inability to obey God's law in our own strength. The speaker also draws on Paul's writings to illustrate how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to fulfill the righteous requirements of the law, a feat that is impossible to achieve in one's own fleshly strength.* The word **sarx** (flesh) is what Paul refers to as "me" in Romans 7, and he states that nothing good dwells in it.* God made the flesh as a "very good" and neutral receptacle for Himself, not with nothing good in it.* The purpose of the law is to give us the knowledge of sin, not to be a means of justification.* The Holy Spirit empowers believers to fulfill the righteous requirements of the law, which is impossible to do in one's own strength.* The term "lust" is not just sexual but a desire for anything beyond what is normal, such as a lust for power or money.* Satan's power is expressed through the weakness of our flesh and our verbal accusations against one another.* The "spiritual" war is not about demons and angels fighting, but a war for our minds to stay set on the Spirit.The video concludes by asserting that the Christian life is a battle between living by the flesh and living by the Spirit. The speaker challenges listeners to 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. The ultimate takeaway is that the purpose of the law is to guide us to a life of holiness, which is only possible through a complete and total reliance on the Holy Spirit. This reliance is the true meaning of being "under grace."#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Romans8 #LawVsGrace #HolySpiritSarx... The human flesh.
