"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the
world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of
the world." - 1 John 2:15-16 KJV
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft,
hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 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." - Galatians 5:19-21 KJV
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts." - Galatians 5:24 KJV
We crucify our flesh when we repent of our sins.
"Knowing this, that our old man [sinful nature] is
crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we
should not serve sin." - Romans 6:6 KJV
We bury our crucified sinful nature when we are baptized in
the name of Jesus.
"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism..." -
Romans 6:4 KJV (Colossians 2:12).
"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not
provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." - Romans 13:14 KJV
When we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, we begin a new
life in Christ, to walk in the Spirit.
"That like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." -
Romans 6:4 KJV
"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not
fulfil the lust of the flesh." - Galatians 5:16 KJV
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
"And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but
he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." - 1 John 2:17 KJV
