(Rom. 6:23). Biblically speaking, any result of sin is a form of death. Depression, discouragement, anger, bitterness, fear, worry, sickness, poverty, loneliness, etc. are all death. If you live after the flesh, you’ll—be sick, impoverished, depressed, angry, etc.—die.
Your fl esh is Satan’s inroad to bring death into your life.
As a born-again believer, your fl esh is made up of your soulish and physical realms. However, before you were saved, it also included your fallen human spirit.
My study of the New International Version of the Bible (NIV) has shown me that it almost always substitutes the phrase
“sinful nature” for what the King James Version (KJV) translates
“flesh.” This interpretation may work to a certain degree, but I’ve found it misleading in many places. For instance, in Romans, the flesh basically refers to either someone who isn’t born again or a born-again believer who isn’t living under the control of the Holy Spirit. The phrase “sinful nature” does not accurately convey this truth.
