The flesh is a very familiar stranger.  The flesh wants us to believe that we are doing the will of God when we are really doing the works of the flesh.  If we abide in Jesus we will be at home in his will.  To abide means to remain in fellowship with Jesus.  It also means not doing the works of the flesh.  More importantly, when we abide in the will of God we grow in Grace perception.  Grace perception opens to us the wonderful love and peace of God.
