Q3. Works of the Flesh


Recommended Posts

All works of the flesh can be divided into three categories:

Those committed against OURSELVES such as impurity and debauchery.

Those committed against OTHERS such as hatred and discord.

Those committed against GOD such as idolatry and witchcraft.

In truth, however, all are sins against God because they reject His Spirit in us.

The works of dehumanizing others- these would be the sexual sins.

 

The works of insulting God- those sins are the ones that go against the praise and worship of God.

 

The works of losing our true selves- those sins that harden our hearts.

 

The works of personal failure- those sins when we can not control our actions.

Works of the flesh are, greed, jealousy, envy, hatred, anger, drunkards, gambling, lying, strife, drugs, fornication, adultery, unbelief in God, love of money, love of position, hording, ***********, homosexuals and the list goes on. These are all the problems we as human beings face in the world today. Thank God for his Holy Spirit to guide us in the right direction.
