Jul 11, 2023 · Crucify the flesh describes a deliberate putting to death of the old sin nature. Paul’s instruction was inspired by Jesus Christ Himself, who said, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me” (Mark 8:34, CSB).

Verse 16 promises victory over the desires of the flesh — not that there won’t be a war, but that the winner of that war will be the Spirit. In fact, I think what Paul means in verse 24, when he says the flesh has been crucified, is that the decisive battle has been fought and won by the Spirit.

Let’s start with chapter 1, specifically Philippians 1:21–24: Now, I think all of us would agree that what flesh means in Philippians 1:21–24 is simple earthly, bodily life.

Only they’re not virtues because they are missing dependence on the Spirit and glorying in Christ Jesus. This is just so thrilling to me to see, to actually watch Paul’s mind work. What we ar...
We should ask, When and why are those things worthless? Because they’re good! I mean, it’s not bad to love the law of God. It’s not bad to be zealous. It’s not bad to be blameless, for goodness’ sake. Paul, do you really want to call that trash? We have to ask this question because there’s nothing wrong in and of themselves. So what turns it into f...
