”Flesh-Lost Power”
1. When in Christ, the flesh has been crucified [not on our doing, Christ did it for us]
2. Flesh-the human nature, becomes powerless
3. Passions, appetites and desires are gone [desires to repeat or take control-addiction]
4. Sin has no more stronghold
5. If sin temptation attacks-retreat and go back to Christ right away [this is the only way]
6. This is a daily battle [retreat everyday]
Barnes on Gal 5:24 –
And they that are Christ’s – All who are true Christians.
Have crucified the flesh – The corrupt passions of the soul have been put to death; that is, destroyed. They are as though they were dead, and have no power over us; see the note at Gal_2:20.
With the affections – Margin, “Passions.” All corrupt desires.
And lusts – See the note at Rom_1:24.
