The flesh (the sinful nature) will always seek to glorify self in fact this is it’s very nature. Despite the flesh (the old man) sinning against the letter of the law, in pride it is prone at times to state I have not sinned or in pride it points to partial obedience as being obedient when partial obedience is the same as disobedience. Don't be fooled, cut off the body of sins and carry your cross crucifying your flesh. Acknowledge your sins before God in spirit (heart) and in truth (hide nothing) that way your flesh being guilty before God is subject to death by the letter of the law yet your spirit lives in Christ who is the hope of glory in you. Give God the Glory and pour out your heart before Him in spirit and in truth for no flesh shall glory before the presence of God. Decrease in flesh = Increase of Christ in you. John 3:30

#But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Galatians 6:14

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2

2 Corinthians 5:13-17

13*For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

14*For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15*And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

16*Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

17*Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

well i admit the old me sometimes comes up for a moent and i still fall into temptation and lie i ask god for forgiveness knowing i will likely do it again, but it's ok because i can never be perfect and i am in training. God is still slowly but surely molding me into the person i want to be.

Amen blain the more you are truthful to God and give him the Glory the more He will work in your life. He will mold you to be like Christ. John 4:24 is exactly that when taken into context and compared with Psalm 51:6, Job 38:36, Jeremiah 31:22 (Rightly diving the Word). Just as Jesus revealed to the Samaritan woman her sins and she truthfully responded in saying she had no husband she was demonstrating what the Father was desiring from us. The Father desire that upon our sins being exposed that we truthfully speak what we are harboring in our inward parts which is sin which is transgression against the Torah. Partial obedience is not what the Father wants because compare what happened to Saul in 1 Samuel 15 he was rejected! We will never obey in our FLESH the Torah because it provokes our flesh to sin. If a little yeast works through the whole dough what do you think a little sin would do? Could you imagine our thoughts on display for everyone to see? It would expose anyone and everyone. To worship in spirit and in truth is to willingly admit and acknowledge our sin and the wages of sin is death to our flesh but in Christ it doesn’t have to mean death to our spirit as well. Why? Because Christ lives in us and we are united in spirit with the Author of Life.

Torah refers to the Law, the 10 commandments written in tablets of stone.
