Lailah Gifty AkitaMay God deliver us from every sinful nature of the soulful flesh.
About This Quote
The flesh is that part of the soul that we are made subject to. The problem with the flesh is that it can be very sinful and we can get drawn into sinful behavior. The mind and the emotions (the body and the soul) should be our priority and we should not be drawn into sin because of our flesh. We need to keep our focus on God and not on the sinful desires of the flesh.
