Episode Synopsis

Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx): The Two Mindsets and the Law of GodIn 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 idea that mankind can govern itself without God's law. 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 mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God and cannot subject itself to His law.* The mind set on the Spirit leads to life and peace.* The flesh is a "weak part of man designed to receive God."* The law is spiritual and holy, but the flesh is sold into bondage to sin.* Mankind's desire to be Lawless and a "law unto themselves" stems from the flesh.* The root of false doctrine is often a desire to avoid responsibility and blame others for our failures.* The "spiritual" war is not about angels and demons, but a war for our minds to stay set on the Spirit.* Without the infilling of God, the goal of the flesh is domination.The video concludes by asserting that the flesh has a built-in desire to be like God, and the ultimate choice is to either be like God through our own very limited strength or to be filled with God and be a ruler with Him. The speaker challenges listeners to understand 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... 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!
