The Flesh is at War with the Spirit – Galatians 5:16–21

In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses how our sin-cursed flesh is at war with Jesus' Holy Spirit, Who has indwelt every Christian since he or she first believed in Jesus Christ.

When we believed, our 'old man' of the flesh was put to death with Jesus at the Cross; we were buried, and raised again with Jesus, in Jesus, spiritually.

However, although spiritually we are thus a new creature in Jesus, in these bodies still dwells that 'old man' of the flesh; until the Rapture, when our bodies, too, will be made perfect, as our spirits have been already.

The flesh cannot alter our eternal spiritual position in Jesus. But if we let it, the flesh can still draw us back into a sinful condition in how we think, speak, and live.

Are you yielding to Jesus' Spirit within you? Or are you yielding again to the 'old man' of the flesh?
