Acts 13:36 'For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.'
As we saw when we studied this passage, serving God's purpose is all that really matters in eternity; life on earth comes down to one question—who we are going to serve?
Serving God is what we were called to do, and a servant is what we are called to be. Salvation starts the process as we are transferred from satan's dominion and into God's. We receive a new heart (software for our operating system) and are empowered to serve the Lord.
God's Word clearly warns us that we do not conquer our flesh by physical means—human resolve, self-effort, religious activity, or sheer will power.
The flesh is only conquered by the power of the cross worked out in our life by the Holy Spirit. There is a war always brewing between our flesh and the Spirit of God within us. One of the clearest descriptions of that warfare is in Galatians 5, turn there with me please.
