The Flesh Is Good For Nothing

" It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing." John 6:63a

If we are not constantly pursuing God and the things of God, we are doomed. If we do not go after God on a daily basis, our flesh will take over and lead our lives into some form of self-centeredness. There is NOTHING good in our flesh! Our righteousness is as filthy rags to God. The only good in us comes from who Jesus is in us.

Don't let up in your pursuit of Christ. It is His Word and His Spirit that give true, abundant, and eternal life. He alone is our solid rock and if we are to walk constantly in Him then we must go after Him with all that is in us. Don't buy the lies of Satan, the world, or even your own flesh. Pursue Jesus Christ and die to your flesh! Then you will know the Spirit and true life!

Which nature are you nurturing?
