The inheritance of Christ's assembly is eternal, incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, contrasting with Israel's earthly inheritance.

Harmon A. Baldwin delves into the misconception that sin lies in the flesh, akin to the old Manichaean heresy, emphasizing that the physical body itself is not sinful but rather the heart where sin resides, influencing our choices and affections.

Baldwin highlights the importance of faith in pleasing God, as stated in Hebrews 11:6, and the presence of the Spirit within believers, as mentioned in Romans 8:9, guiding them away from minding the flesh and towards spiritual growth.
