Galatians 6:8 NIV Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

When people think of acts of the flesh, they usually think about sex, drugs, alcohol, and partying. You know what also is an act of the flesh? Sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself. Intentionally isolating yourself just to think about all the things that are going wrong in your life. Complaining to someone about how bad things are.

The flesh referenced in the bible means our sinful nature. Anything done from our sinful nature is referred to as the flesh. There’s no difference between a person giving into their sinful nature to have a one night stand or to have a pity party. It’s all out of the flesh and it will all lead to destruction.

Now that you understand that the flesh comes in many forms, ask yourself, are you pleasing your flesh in any way or are you actively resisting your flesh to please God? Let’s do our best to please God.
