LESSON SUMMARY:
The flesh, which is the sinful nature, stimulates the Christian to sin. It produces a variety of evil works. The Holy Spirit, Who dwells within the Christian, stimulates him or her to please God. The Spirit produces holy qualities in the Christian who cooperates with Him. No one can defeat the flesh by following a set of regulations, but he or she can enjoy victory by submitting to the Spirit.
