The flesh truly is my own worst enemy and I promise you friend, it is yours as well. Every human being that has ever lived has inherited a corrupt nature from our first Father, Adam. We can’t help ourselves from rebelling against God because we are naturally rebellious. Left to ourselves, we will always choose to be selfish. This is hard for us as humans to understand. We give ourselves all kinds of credit for heroic, selfless acts. The bible is clear though, even our seemingly best, most noble act falls short of God’s standards of goodness, righteousness. “Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” – Romans 8:8.
