What does the Bible say about liberty and the flesh?

In Galatians 5:13, Paul emphasizes that believers are called to liberty but should not use this liberty as an occasion for the flesh. Instead, they should serve one another in love. The term 'flesh' refers to our fallen human nature, which remains prone to sin even after salvation. Total depravity reflects that every part of our being is influenced by sin, and as such, believers must not allow their freedom in Christ to become an excuse for indulging sinful desires. Instead, the call is to live in a way that honors God and promotes love amongst each other.
