Determined to Grow Strong
The flesh as an enemy is a New Testament concept that focuses on the carnal, inbred tendencies of fallen humankind. These sinful inclinations are the most immediate enemy of the believer who desires to live a committed life under the control, influence, and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
The Word says the desire alone is not enough to overcome our flesh (Romans 7:21). Rather, we are called to war against the flesh—to live our lives in a tug-of-war as our flesh urges indulgence and the Holy Spirit constrains us to righteousness.
