1 John Lesson 3

Last week's homework was to study the meanings of the phrases 

desires of the flesh

desires of the eyes

pride of possession

The Desires of the Flesh.

Galatians 5:19-21 is about the works of the flesh in contrast to the fruit of the spirit.

The list of these works cover our relationship with God and our relationships with others.

The Desires of the Eyes/

In Genesis 3:6 Eve saw the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes.  

We see it!  We want it!  Often without considering the consequences.  

Pride of Posessions

Psalm 37:3, 4
