Intro: One of the most important matters when an army goes to battle with another is to know the enemy. We, as Christians, have more than one enemy. We battle the world, the flesh and the devil. We have some understanding of the devil. We have some understanding of the world, but hardly any of the flesh. The flesh is the enemy within and enemies within are harder to battle than the enemy without.
I have defined the term ‘world' in our subject as the sum total of those who are lost and that which they bring about. It is the flesh as the total of the lost. I view as the flesh that which we call the sin nature, or the self life, the big “I”.
I mentioned in the last message that I think a distinction can be made between a worldly Christian and a fleshly Christian. The worldly Christian seeks acceptance with the world and the church. The worldly Christian wants both worlds. External identity is a big thing. Clothes, jewelry, hair, houses, vehicles etc… The worldy Christian says by his or her life to the world, “Look at me.”
