“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
“For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.”
Let’s flesh out what the spirit is saying to us, and get our flesh out of the way so the spirit can work through us.
A Hostage Situation
The freedom Christ brings is not so that we can be let loose to find our own path and discover our own truth. Rather its like a lion rescued from a circus cage, and released on the Sahara. We are rescued from our cage to be released and fulfill the purpose for which we were made.
