What does suffering in the flesh mean?Suffering in the flesh refers to putting yourself on the cross in your heart so that you stop sinning, which is the true grace of God.

Being subject to elders as true graceLearning to be subject to your elders in church-related matters is evidence of understanding the true grace of God.

Rejecting worldly compromiseBelievers must stand for righteousness rather than following the crowd in cheating, dishonesty, and worldly habits.

Modesty and godly standardsChurch elders advise on practical holiness, including modest dress to avoid adding to sexual temptations in the world.

Choosing the God-fearing pathJust as there was a choice in Eden, believers have a choice to follow fashionable worldly ways or godly modesty.

Humble yourself and resist the devilGod gives grace to the humble, and with that grace, believers can resist the devil so that he flees.

Evidence of the true grace of GodTrue grace is proven when sin, anger, lust, and money do not rule over you and the fruit of self-control is present.

Do not fear the devilBelievers living under God's grace do not need to be afraid of the devil or his harassment.

The devil's primary tactic is deceptionThe devil is more interested in deceiving believers than harming them, often coming as an angel of light or a snake.
