INTRO: In the first message I sought to define the meanings of the terms ‘world' and ‘flesh'. I mentioned that the word world is used with a few different meanings, but the meaning I am zeroing in on in these messages is its use when it speaks of all the lost as the world. It is the sum total of that which the Bible calls the ‘flesh' when it is used as speaking of man's bent towards sin. The flesh, as I see it, when used in this sense, is the same as what we call the sin nature or the ‘self life'. It is that which is in us which creates within us a propensity towards sin. Paul says in Romans 7:18 “For I know that in me (that is in my flesh) nothing good dwells…”
So we ask this morning, how does the flesh manifest itself? How can you recognize the flesh? Well, it manifests itself in various actions or works, or things people do. I want to take you to a passage that speaks of the works of the flesh, and although these passages are directed to believers, we find that these manifestations are most clearly found in the non-believer. So we begin by looking at the manifestations of the works of the flesh in the non-believer.
