Christ our total sufficiency Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Our ‘Flesh’ has to Die

So have we died with Christ
Our flesh on the Cross?
Are we carnal and selfish
Or count all things as loss?

Not a self-serving ministry
But sinners saved, when speaking
Not into personal prosperity
But lost souls, we’re seeking.

Since we were purchased, by His blood
The price, now fully paid
Sealed and stamped for eternity
We’re counted righteous, be not afraid.

So, be of good cheer
For Jesus has overcome
The world, the flesh and the devil
Know in Him, we have won.

Know God’s Word, teaches both
God’s sovereignty, His will
But also, our heart’s free choice
To stay hardened, or Spirit filled.

For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.

But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

Grip my heart, with Your Truth
I am loved, beyond measure
Despite all my failures
In Christ, I’m You’re treasure.

So, seek first God’s kingdom
His righteousness, daily
Be filled by His Spirit
Spurn sin, as our enemy.
