And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth . LUKE 12:15-19 KJV
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
"That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
"living according to a self-centered, selfish way of being human ,” which is at the root of our sin and all its deathly consequences."
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36 KJV.
I remember a man who now has a ministry when he got divorced to his wife that was a counterfeit Christian and he went through court and all that dilemma he called her a world sucking hypocrite. I remember reading the story of his life because counterfeit Christians have no understanding. You can gain the world and lose your soul and friendship with the world is enmity with God James 4:4 Religions that teach to keep the law are wicked evil and deceiving people it is impossible even Apostle Paul struggled with this. You have to seek his Jesus Christs righteousness. Salvation is a gift: Faith, Grace. The thief on the cross didn't have to come down and do a bunch of works to earn his salvation he believed and repented bleeding nailed hanging on a cross. In fact the apostles some of them were crucified they didn't have time to go make things right their faith which they sometimes struggled with according to apostle Peter denying Christ or others abandoning him when they couldn't digest what he was telling them he is the savior of the world they struggled at times. He's not just a savior he is the life and the right way. He is not religion he is relationship. Either love the truth or risk perishing spending eternity in hell outer darkness is that what you want? Think of all the money for a moment that people spend on useless items that they later then put in storage and never use again some people being hoarders they can't stop ordering things and buying things that they later have no use for meanwhile you have people in nations living on the streets a woman or some family can't feed their little children but all the money in a human lifespan from the time they were born to the time they leave this life all the waste hoarders none of these things can save your soul and none of these things do justice to the soul. You can reap this life and forsake the next. And no wonder God tells us in scripture all have gone astray and become unprofitable. How many times do we hear about preachers or pastures that are involved in some sexual scandals. It happens even in religion massively according to knowledge but why. Look at the yearly abortion rates which are unfathomable and off the richter scale. You can't even digest that number and you think people are good there is not even one according to Christ/GOD. He told us to crucify the flesh do we do it or do we make excuses. What is the word "lust" mean to you to lust after something/one. You know people lust after models women models and they use their vanity to advertise sexual pleasures but this is the very heart of the matter that is evil in God sight first of all it's idolatry and it's also lust and leads to fornication. If you look at Galatians 5:18-24 KJV try to comprehend honestly in your mind what those written words really mean and how serious they really are. So if we are new creatures in Christ some say we still have some of the old men and it appears Apostle Paul acknowledge this he struggled with this. How does one overcome this I noticed a preacher had a video discussing this sort of a town hall meeting format lately. Look what it says as written: .. that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. Romans 7:18 through the 20
Galatians 5:18-24 KJV
Read this over every day get this in your head corrupt minds destined for eternal damnation
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
“And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
King James Version (KJV) Galatians 5:24
The Bible often describes our human nature using the term "flesh." The Greek term is sarx , frequently used as a reference to the sin-prone condition of human beings. It's a poetic reference to our weakness, and our hostility towards God. This is the exact opposite of the Spirit which is from God ( Philippians 3:3 ; John 1:33 ). This is the reason that a rebirth is necessary.
The phrase "born again" has become a cliché in western culture. It means little to most people. However, the difference between the flesh and the Spirit is why rebirth is necessary. Those who are part of "the flesh" are incapable of loving, obeying, or knowing God. A sinful human nature makes this impossible. To be united with God, a person must have their nature changed. This cannot happen through normal means. It requires that a person be "born again," this time in the Spirit of God.
Religious deception Sarah these lost deceived religious Lucifer's children are going about to establish their own righteousness. No blood there to save their soul. They have another Christ another Jesus and another gospel. Blessed are they that come in the name of the Lord.

There is a very interesting Henry Matthew commentary and it's here
Apostle Paul said as written in scripture..
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
