English Christian Song | "Only by Rebelling Against the Flesh Can You See God's Loveliness"

March 8, 2025

I

If you truly love God and do not satisfy the flesh, then you'll see that everything God does is so right and so good, and that His curse of your rebelliousness and judgment of your unrighteousness is justified. There will be times when God chastens and disciplines you and raises up an environment to temper you, forcing you to come before Him—and you will always feel that what God is doing is wonderful. Thus you will feel as if there is not much pain, and that God is so lovely.

II

If you pander to the flesh's weaknesses and say that God goes too far, then you will always feel in pain, and will always be sorrowful, and you will be unclear about all of the work of God, and it will seem as if God is not sympathetic to man's weakness at all and unaware of man's difficulties. And thus you will always feel miserable and alone, as if you have suffered great injustice, and at this time you'll begin to complain.

III

The more you pander to the weaknesses of the flesh in this way, the more you'll feel that God goes too far, until it gets so bad that you deny God's work, and begin to oppose God, and become full of rebelliousness. Thus, you must rebel against the flesh, and not pander to it: "My husband (wife), children, prospects, marriage, family—none of them matter! In my heart there's only God, and I must try my best to satisfy God and not satisfy the flesh." You must have this resolve.
