“The Works of The Flesh – 2”

Key Verse

  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness…”(Galatians 5:19).

Text — Galatians 5:19-21

Message

The works of the flesh are sinful acts. Mr. DeHaan, M.D says, “Sin is like the tse-tse-fly, spreading disease that creates spiritual death.” In the first part of the works of the flesh, we have seen the struggles of the carnal man and apostle Paul’s admonition to Christians to walk in the spirit. Our text today emphasizes the true life of the unregenerate youths and their doom. The characteristics of the sinning youth are clearly shown in the three verses but the list is endless. Paul, therefore, put it as, “and such like,”these include examination malpractice, drug addition, pornography, cultism,  smoking, violence, kidnapping, worldly music and sinful movies.

Most often, unbelievers think they are enjoying. The devil does not allow them to see the destruction of their dreams, wasted potentials and eternal damnation in hell fire. The works of the flesh are devil’s character qualities manifested in the life of sinners. And that is what Christ came to destroy. Only confession, repentance of sinful practices and faith in Christ can bring genuine forgiveness and righteousness.
