Holding to the Spirit
More Tightly than the Flesh?
Our flesh sees flesh, now briefly, and our spirit sees spirit forever in due time. Our flesh will be strong, perhaps, if our spirit is strong. But, according to Jesus, the flesh cannot help us.
First the flesh is born, then the spirit is born. The act of being "born" is "again" not the flesh or the spirit. The implication is the flesh changes and in change, dies when its' function is no longer active. We will be faced forever with our spirit eternally.
Does holding onto the flesh weaken the spirit?
Eventually one could more greatly love the flesh or totally love the spirit. This is the big contention struggling for a decision within. Seems like I should be more willing to lose my flesh, in order to gain my spirit. This, of course, has been pointed out before. But sometimes I think one can slip over it.
