Fighting the Flesh: Part 1
April 26, 2026
The battle within us is real and Scripture doesn’t ignore it.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we walk through Romans 7:7–25 and Matthew 26:41 to understand the struggle every believer faces with the flesh. The apostle Paul gives an honest look at the tension between our desire to do what is right and the reality of sin still at work within us.
We learn that this battle is not occasional, it is consistent. And no matter how strong our intentions are, we cannot win this fight through willpower alone.
But this struggle reveals something deeper:
Our need for God.
Jesus didn’t come to make us outwardly better. He came to save us, transform us, and give us a new nature through the Holy Spirit.
Application:
Stop trying to save yourself.
Start surrendering to the Savior.
Victory begins with surrender.
