The Flesh Life

                                                               Galatians 5:16
                                                  "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit,"
                                              "And ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh"

          It is a mistake to think that the flesh can produce good works. Paul made it very plain that the flesh produces only evil works, which you will find listed in Galatians 5:19-21. As soon as Adam lost for himself and the human race, original righteousness, the flesh reared its ugly head. His son, Cain, exhibited these attitudes of the flesh:  jealousy, hatred, and anger in his brutal act of fratricide (Genesis 4:8). Later the generation of Noah displayed works of the flesh:  fornication, violence, drunkenness, and revellings (Genesis 6:1-4, 11-13).
        You could study every generation from Adam to the present and witness the evil activity of the flesh. As you already know, our age is no more spiritual than the former ones. We can honestly admit that the works of the flesh are still all to common. We my friends are in a spiritual bankruptcy of our times. "I used to say that this world is going to hell in a hand basket. Why should the hand basket burn.
