What has the flesh given us.

The initial plan of God for our life was not to be in flesh but a spirit man. This can be found in Genesis 1:26 but sin came and change our real identity which is a spirit being to a flesh.
Man was unaware what he was doing to himself when he succumb to sin. At this point, what is sin? According to my definition, Sin is what man allow to change his identity to flesh which the end result is DEATH.
The Bible says in Roman 6:23, that the wages of sin is death, that is the reward. So what has flesh gave us so far. The answer to this is simple, flesh has given us pain, death problems, worries, failure and all the evil of this world. At the onset we are met to feel or experience those things but because of the sin of one man, we are subjected to all these evil vices.
But God got another plan for us, he send the second man, who is Jesus in form of man but a Jesus Christ in form of the messiah. He died on the cross and reunited us back to God. So when we accept Jesus Christ into our life, the flesh in our being is replace to the spirit of God. We can overcome flesh or sin through the help of the Holy Spirit when the accept Jesus Christ into your life.
The question is, do you want to overcome flesh? Do you want to be free from the torment of the flesh? If yes is your answer then you should know the right thing to do.
