Watchman Nee addresses the condition of fleshly or carnal believers, emphasizing that many Christians, despite being filled with the Holy Spirit, remain controlled by their flesh and fail to live in the reality of Christ's death and resurrection. He points out that this state of being is not new, as evidenced by the Apostle Paul's observations of the Corinthians, who were still behaving like ordinary men due to jealousy and strife. Nee stresses the importance of spiritual growth and warns against remaining as 'babes' in Christ, urging believers to allow the Holy Spirit to lead them into a deeper spiritual life. He concludes that the flesh cannot be improved or educated; it must be put to death for true spiritual freedom to be realized.
