SELF-ESTEEM VS. CHRIST-ESTEEM
03. Rightly Discerning the Flesh
“Not I, but Christ.” (Gal. 2:20).
To rightly discern our flesh is to agree with God that the flesh is weak, the flesh profits nothing, flesh gives birth only to flesh, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. This includes “sinful flesh” as well as “religious flesh.” The solution is not to improve our flesh but to have no confidence in the flesh. With no confidence in our flesh, our confidence is in Christ, where it belongs.
