Derived from the Latin word for flesh (<em>caro<\/em>), it describes<strong><span> living according to base human instincts, physical desires, and earthly impulses rather than being guided by the Spirit of God<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how carnal is used in scripture:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The \u201cCarnal Christian\u201d:<\/strong> In 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, the Apostle Paul describes believers who are still acting like \u201cmere men\u201d as carnal. He points out that <strong><span>their spiritual growth is stunted, leading to jealousy, division, and strife<\/span><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hostility Toward God:<\/strong> In Romans 8:6-7, Paul states that<strong><span> \u201cto be carnally minded is death\u201d<\/span><\/strong> because <strong><span>the fleshly mind is naturally hostile to God and does not submit to His laws<\/span>..<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Physical vs. Spiritual:<\/strong> It highlights the contrast between physical limitations and spiritual realities, such as in Romans 15:27 where it refers to sharing in material (physical) blessings rather than spiritual ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ultimately, <em><strong><span>a carnal state indicates a focus on self, worldly pleasures, and the five physical senses.<\/span><\/strong> <strong><span>Biblical teaching encourages believers to move away from carnality and allow their minds to be transformed by the Spirit.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>{My question is how can you be saved and remain carnal minded and carnal behavior instead of trying to following God\u2019s Will?}<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotquestions.org\/carnal-Christian.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source of below: GotQuestions.com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><mark class=\"HxTRcb\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-wiz-uids=\"x3BcNc_h\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiAh5fs-9GUAxXPGoYAHQWZI_UQuJAPegoIAggACAAIBhAB\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(0, 29, 53);\"><span data-subtree=\"aimfl,mfl\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(0, 29, 53);\">A person can be carnal and be a Christian<\/span><\/mark>, as a \u201ccarnal Christian\u201d refers to a believer who is genuinely saved but struggles with spiritual immaturity and fleshly desires. However, this condition is viewed as a temporary stage of growth, not a permanent lifestyle of unrepentant sin. <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Genuine faith is expected to produce spiritual growth<\/span><\/strong>, fruit, and good works over time. A life continuously marked by habitual, unrepentant sin with absolutely no desire to follow Christ raises serious questions about the authenticity of a person\u2019s faith.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong> Will a true Christian remain carnal? No.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since eternal security is a fact of Scripture, even the carnal Christian is still saved. Salvation cannot be lost, because salvation is a gift of God that He will not take away (see <span><a class=\"BRST_a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleref.com\/John\/10\/John-10-28.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ESV.John.10.28 noopener\">John 10:28<\/a>; <a class=\"BRST_a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleref.com\/Romans\/8\/Romans-8-37.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ESV.Romans.8.37-39 noopener\">Romans 8:37-39<\/a>; <a class=\"BRST_a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleref.com\/1-John\/5\/1-John-5-13.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ESV.1 John.5.13 noopener\">1 John 5:13<\/a>).<\/span> Even in<span> <a class=\"BRST_a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleref.com\/1-Corinthians\/3\/1-Corinthians-3-15.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Corinthians.3.15 ESV.1 noopener\">1 Corinthians 3:15<\/a><\/span>, the carnal Christian is assured of salvation: \u201cIf anyone\u2019s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.\u201d The question is not whether a person who claims to be a Christian but lives carnally has lost his salvation, but whether that person was truly saved in the first place <span>(<a class=\"BRST_a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleref.com\/1-John\/2\/1-John-2-19.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ESV.1 John.2.19 noopener\">1 John 2:19<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Christians who become carnal in their behavior can expect God to lovingly discipline them <span>(<a class=\"BRST_a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleref.com\/Hebrews\/12\/Hebrews-12-5.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"ESV.Hebrews.12.5-11 noopener\">Hebrews 12:5-11<\/a>)<\/span> so they can be restored to close fellowship with Him and be trained to obey Him.

Until we are delivered from our sinful flesh, there will be outbreaks of carnality.
