Denying the Flesh
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:27 (KJV)
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection.”
Reflection
Spiritual growth often requires discipline. Paul compared the Christian life to an athlete training for victory. Denying the flesh is not punishment but preparation for holiness.
Personal Reflection
What habits weaken my spiritual vigilance?
Puritan Insight
John Owen wrote:
“A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.”⁶
