Let’s start with chapter 1, specifically Philippians 1:21–24: Now, I think all of us would agree that what flesh means in Philippians 1:21–24 is simple earthly, bodily life. Nothing negative is implied about it here except that we can’t be with Jesus in the same intimate way if we’re here than if we’re in heaven. Over against departing and leaving ...
Here’s what he says at the beginning of Philippians 3: “Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh” (Philippians 3:1–2). Now, right here we can see that Paul is using the term in an or...
Now, let’s test this because if you just keep reading, you’ll see how he’s thinking now: “Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also” (Philippians 3:4). What’s he going to refer to? He says, “I don’t put any confidence in the flesh, but I could if I wanted to.” Well, what are you talking about, Paul? Here’s what he says in Philipp...
Here’s the upshot. Fleshin Paul’s vocabulary now has become something that includes zeal, an emotional virtue; law keeping; and blamelessness, a moral virtue. Only they’re not virtues because they are missing dependence on the Spirit and glorying in Christ Jesus. This is just so thrilling to me to see, to actually watch Paul’s mind work. What we ar...
We should ask, When and why are those things worthless? Because they’re good! I mean, it’s not bad to love the law of God. It’s not bad to be zealous. It’s not bad to be blameless, for goodness’ sake. Paul, do you really want to call that trash? We have to ask this question because there’s nothing wrong in and of themselves. So what turns it into f...

Oct 29, 2024 · 1 Thessalonians 4:3. “God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin.”. God’s desire for holiness is clear, and believers are encouraged to abstain from any form of sexual immorality. Living in holiness is a testament to God’s work in our lives, calling us to reflect His purity in our actions.
Romans 8:13 - For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Romans 8:7 - Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Mar 18, 2011 · 1. The Flesh does not grasp spiritual teachings – [Jesus said] The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
