Your Fleshly Desires Want to Sin
Each of us have fallen human desires. These fleshly desires are contrary to the Spirit of God. Those who are redeemed by Christ still have fallen human desires though they also have a new heart that desires to obey God. A believer must seek to put to death the deeds of the flesh by the power of God. Fallen human desires conspire with temptations to produce sin. Understanding this is important to your battle against sin. Most importantly you know that your fleshly desires want to produce sin. This enemy within each of us must be battled actively or we will lose. God has granted us His Spirit by which we may oppose our sinful inclinations, yet we are to set ourselves each day to actively battle sin. As John Owen said, “Be killing sin or it will be killing you.” To listen to this sermon, please click on the following link: James 1:13-15.
