Crucifying The Flesh

"And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." Galatians 5:24 NKJV

Walking in the flesh has to do with being ruled and controlled by our flesh to do whatever it desires. And the truth is that we cannot walk in the flesh and please God at the same time: it is impossible, because the flesh only does things which grieve the Spirit.

Committing sexual sin, being morally bad, doing all kinds of shameful things, worshiping false gods, taking part in witchcraft, hating people, causing trouble, being jealous, angry or selfish, causing people to argue and divide into separate groups, being filled with envy, getting drunk, having wild parties, and other things like those mentioned are the works of the flesh, and the Bible warns that people who do these things will not have a part in God’s kingdom.

Hence the need to crucify the flesh. Brothers and sisters, we have to crucify our flesh. What's the difference between us and the world if we still live as they live, talk like them and do as they do? Most importantly, we must crucify our fleshly passions and desires to have a fruitful relationship with God and spend eternity with Him. His grace is sufficient for us. Amen.
