It is a force that stands against God and all He wants, all He is. Whatever flesh is, it is the opposite of God, and the foe of God. All my opposition and disapproval will not tame it. My most noble determination is no power to match it. In fact, flesh loves a moral fight, for it wins that battle every time.
Flesh is lazy tolerance.
Flesh follows its own appetite, steals its satisfaction, cares only for its sated fullness . Though crucified, flesh remains in some ironic state of awakened stench, ever pestering and calling me to its defense. That Christ Jesus paid for sins, we know. That He died for the sinner, we comprehend. This we cannot see.
