St. Paul said that there are two kinds of people: spiritual, or selfish. This is because they are led either by the spirit of God, or a spirit of “flesh”. 1.Write out one of the quotes. 2.Explain what it is saying. **What would be some more examples of the “spirit of flesh”? Mindmap them. B. Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Rom 8:5 A. The spirit of flesh wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants, and vice versa. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. Gal 5:16

Spirit of flesh You live by the desires of your body - greed, lust, envy, anger, lazy, demanding, selfish. Spirit of God You live by the desires of the Spirit of God - generous, truthful, self-controlled, patient, peaceful, kind, responsible, selfless. Your body shows up your moods and feelings. But it also shows up the deeper layer of your personality – which spirit you live by. 1.Label the photos – spirit of God or spirit of flesh 2.Explain the difference between a person following the spirit of God and the spirit of flesh 3.Who do you admire? Are they a person of the Spirit or of the flesh? How can you tell?

Why?
