The Flesh

Calvary Chapel Mechanicsville

Paul realized that Christians do not always understand how we can instantly slide from being obedient in the spirit, to sinning against the Holy Spirit; how our spiritual nature is duped and or overpowered by our fallen nature – that sinful nature – the old nature also known as “the flesh.” To help them understand, he makes it painfully clear that this nature is completely corrupt, beyond reconciliation, and without exception it is contrary to God and my quest for Christlikeness; my flesh is my enemy that wars against God and me. But Paul’s lesson does not stop there. He clearly teaches that the solution is found only in Christ and saves the sinner from all condemnation; all who pursue the life in the Spirit
