Drawing from Ezekiel 18, this teaching calls believers to repentance. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but desires that we turn from sin and live. Repentance is turning away from transgression and living according to God’s instructions.
The Bible defines sin as lawlessness—breaking God’s commandments. The Hebrew word chatah means to miss the mark, and the Torah (yarah) provides the instructions for hitting the mark. This teaching explores the biblical definition of sin and calls believers to repent and live according to God’s law.
Repentance in Hebrew is teshuva, from the verb shuv meaning to turn or return. Rather than a momentary feeling, teshuva is a continual return to God’s ways. The teaching shows how repentance is turning back to the original path of obedience, contrasting Greek ideas of repentance (a change of mind) with the Hebrew concept of concrete action.
What does it mean to live according to the flesh? Does it mean simply following our physical desires? Is it wrong to experience physical pleasure in this life? Does living according to the Spirit mean living a life without pleasure?
