In The Flesh

Romans 8:7-8 (ESV Strong's)

7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.


Man without the Spirit is dominated by the flesh. The whole of man is contained in these mortal bodies which will fade and fall back into the earth. Death is the opposite of the life of God, and is thus opposed to it as light is to darkness. For that reason, those whose minds are set on the darkness of the flesh cannot please God. 


It wasn’t until the Son of God entered the flesh of man that the light of God could be truly seen. It will show the way out of the grave that awaits us and into the presence of the Lord.
