The works of the flesh are a pervasive and daily challenge, tempting us constantly with desires that pull us away from God. These works manifest as behaviors and attitudes driven by human nature, apart from the influence of His Spirit, reflecting what we think, feel, and do naturally in our fleshly state. They include a range of sins such as adultery, fornication, uncleanness, debauchery, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, among others. These are habitual practices, often done in rebellion against God, and even a single unrepented act can have severe consequences. In this culture of instant gratification, temptations to indulge the flesh are relentless, bombarding us through various mediums with allurements to fornication, envy, and selfish ambition. The line between Christian works and the works of the flesh is thin, as our growth may not be as advanced as we assume, and the flesh continually cries out for satisfaction. Our works reveal what we believe, worship, and aspire to be, making it evident to observant eyes where our true priorities lie. The flesh, derived from the Greek word "sarx," encompasses human thoughts, feelings, desires, and activities, often apart from God. These natural, physical tendencies of human nature stand in opposition to His Spirit once we are called, creating a constant battle within us. Before God's calling, the flesh ran unchecked, guided only by what our conscience permitted. Now, as begotten children of God, we face the choice daily: will we allow the flesh, influenced by satan and the world, to guide us, or will we follow His Spirit? The works of the flesh are obvious and easy to spot, unlike good works which often remain hidden or internal. Yet, overcoming them is far from easy, requiring intense effort akin to crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires. This struggle demands hard work, trials, pain, and a powerful force of will to stay on the right path, fighting against tendencies deeply embedded in every part of our being. Paul advises us to walk in the Spirit, conducting our lives under Its influence, to avoid fulfilling the lusts of the flesh. If we fully live by His Spirit, guided by His Word and doing what It urges, our lives will be so filled with good that there will be no room for the desires of the flesh. Human nature and God's Spirit are diametrically opposed, with no common ground or blending between them. If we yield to the flesh, we produce corrupt fruit and face death; if we follow His Spirit, we bear good fruit and strive for life. Living by His Spirit renders the law powerless over us, as there is no sin to condemn when we act in obedience to Him. The ultimate goal is to inscribe His law in our hearts, acting according to it in every decision, so the law has no hold over us because we no longer transgress. We must mortify our fleshly members, putting to death the old man and taking on the new, ensuring our conduct aligns with His Spirit if we profess to be true Christians. The choice remains ours each day—whether to be swayed by human nature or to be guided by His Spirit, preparing ourselves for the imminent return of Jesus Christ by cutting out the works of the flesh and walking in the Spirit.
