21. SANCTIFICATION: You Are Battling Flesh

Paul's personal struggle with sin highlights that our pursuit of holiness is not about self-improvement, willpower, perfection, or externals, but rather about acknowledging our wretchedness apart from Christ. The core problem is our flesh-driven efforts, leading to frustration and a constant war within us. The solution is grace-driven effort through Jesus Christ, leading to thankfulness and true freedom from the body of this death.
