Getting Out Of Your Stone Coffin

Saturday, October 9, 2021

The Word of God tells us not to live in the flesh. The word for the flesh in the New Covenant Scriptures is the Greek sarx. From that word sarx, we get the English word sarcophagus. A sarcophagus was a stone coffin containing the body of the deceased, often decorated to resemble a painted statue of the dead person. That's also what the sarx or flesh is: a shell. It's not the real person. If you live in the flesh, the sarx, then it's like living in a sarcophagus. You're trapped in a shell - the shell of the ego, the shell of the body, the shell of self. But God calls us out of the flesh, out of the sarcophagus. And to do that you have to choose to live in the Spirit. If you live by the Spirit, you'll be free from the flesh. You'll have the power to break out of lust, fear, depression, anger, bitterness, addiction, ego, the self. So start living by the Spirit and start breaking out of that sarcophagus! rn
