C. The ultimate result is “passing away” rather than “living
forever”: 1 Jn. 2:15-17
III. How can we overcome carnality?
A. First, we must recognize and admit that there is a battle with the flesh:
Matt. 26:41
B. Next, we must look to God for the way of escape: 1 Cor. 10:13
C. Then, we must use the weapons of our warfare to fight the flesh: 2 Cor. 10:4—these
include prayer: Phil. 4:6-7; and the Scriptures: 2 Tim. 3:16-17
Conclusion: 1 Peter 4:1-2
God is our Creator, and if we wish to dwell with Him in heaven, we must determine
to live for His will rather than for the carnal lusts of the flesh.
Are you / am I carnal?
