FLESH VS. SPIRIT
SCRIPTURE
ROMAN 8:1-8
1. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.[a]
2. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you[b] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
3. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,[c] he condemned sin in the flesh,
4. in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
6. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
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.
WISDOM
The word for flesh in Hebrew is '(basar) sometimes also meaning body. In this scripture we are talking about both, we cannot please God following after the flesh because it is hostile to God and if you are about pleasing the flesh you are not being led by the spirit of God. We have to make sure we line up with the will of God for our life not get our life going in the way we want and then want God to line up with us. We all have a purpose here on this earth now we just have to seek Yahweh's directions, ask yourself is what I'm doing pleasing in the sight of God? And if not get it right, remember "those who are in the flesh cannot please God".
