Pleasing God: dead to sin by ric Gustafson
What does it mean for a Christian to be in the flesh?. It means that we are following our old evil desires. These Christians are called carnal Christians. Fleshly Christians are led by their own impulses. When we live according to the flesh, impure thoughts and lustful pleasure will result.
So how can we change?. We need to study Romans 6:6. It says that because our evil desires were nailed to the cross our sin loving body is no longer under sin's control we no longer need to be a slave to sin. This verse tells us that we are no longer under the domination of sin. Jesus died in our place. Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
We have the choice of who control's our life. Do we please God or our flesh.
