Christians: What are the works of the flesh? How may they be avoided?

Answer 1

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:

They are avoided by having the Holy Spirit, and producing the fruit thereof.

.

Answer 2

Galatians 5:19-24-Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, 20 idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects, 21 envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these. As to these things I am forewarning YOU, the same way as I did forewarn YOU, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom.

22 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Moreover, those who belong to Christ Jesus impaled the flesh together with its passions and desires.

We must pray continually to avoid these.

Answer 3

The Bible lists the works of the flesh.
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkeness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

The only way we can over come the Works of the Flesh, are through the Fruit of the Spirit which will only come through true salvation, prayer, fasting, and reading God's Word.

Answer 4

Galatians 5:19-21 -  "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct,  idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects,  envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these. As to these things I am forewarning YOU, the same way as I did forewarn YOU, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom."

Galatians 5:22, 23 show us what we should be doing - "On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law."
I don't know about you, but for myself, I don't see a lot of these things happening in the world today. First way to aviod them is to know what they are.

Answer 5

Carnality. Anything related to the fleshly or worldly appetites rather than to the godly and spiritual desires.

Fallen human nature is incapable of conforming to God's holy expectations. So if you stay in the Word and walk accordingly you can minimize or stop the works of the flesh which are adultery, fornication, lewdness, hatred, selfish ambitions,, heresies, envy, murder, drunkenness, sorcery, uncleanness etc.

Answer 6

We will never be fully rid of the sinful nature until the day we die and shed this flesh.

But the works of the flesh are as Paul listed:
Sexual immorality, lust, greed, malice....etc.....

So on and so forth

Answer 7

Sex, Drugs & Rock and Roll, just avoid those and you will be fine. Or if it feels good don't do it.
