NASB | Galatians 5:17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 5:17 For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the sinful nature; for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do. |
Bible Question: what does the bible say about excuses when it comes down to your service as a christain and serving him. |
Bible Answer: Excuses is something that man has been good at since the fall of man. Gal. 5:17 kinda gives the indication that the Christian, in the flesh, will oppose the work of the Holy Spirit and lead the believer toward sinful behavior. In v.16. we are told to walk in the Spirit. If we're walking in the Spirit, are we going to offer God any excuses about our Christian responcibilities?? According to Matt. 6:31-32, God is aware of our NEEDS, and He will provide for them. In v.33 it says "Seek ye FIRST, the Kingdom of God and His righteousness" In my book, the word first kinda toss whatever the excuse is out the window. My wife wanted me to go with her to our Church's 35th Anniversary. Today was the only day I'll have off for two weeks. Of course I wasn't going. My things-to-do list was overwhelming, plus I had deadlines to meet. Of course she reminded me of my Christian and Husbandly Responcibilities. Of course I suited up and went. The CurtMan |
