Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx), the Law, and the New CovenantIn this continuation of the series on the Greek word **sarx** ("flesh"), the speaker examines the profound biblical truth that true righteousness and obedience to God's law are not achieved through human effort but through the power of the Holy Spirit. The message, drawing on **Romans 2**, emphasizes that a person is not a true follower of God simply by outward signs, but by the **circumcision of the heart** by the Spirit. The video refutes the common misconception that the law has been done away with, arguing instead that when we walk by the Spirit, we are empowered to obey God's law, a feat that is impossible to achieve in one's own fleshly strength.* God's law is not abolished under the **New Covenant**; rather, the Holy Spirit empowers believers to fulfill it.* The purpose of the law is to give us the knowledge of sin, not to be a means of justification.* The desire and the power to do God's will are a gift of God's grace through the Holy Spirit.* The will is a key component of our relationship with God, as we must submit our will to His to receive His word and allow Him to change us.* We must be constantly "delivered over to death for Jesus' sake" so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.* The resurrection of Jesus is not just a future hope, but a present power that gives life to our mortal bodies.* The root of sin is not a list of bad behaviors, but trusting in oneself instead of in God.The video concludes by asserting that the Christian life is not about trying to be a better person through our own fleshly efforts, which are constantly failing and lead to anger and rebellion. 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. We are not changed by our own willpower, but by receiving God's Word, which changes our mind and our will, and is a process of being "delivered over to death" to our self so that Christ's life can be manifested in our mortal flesh.#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Romans #LawVsGrace #NewCovenantSarx...

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.
