Conclusion
The whole conclusion to this study lesson is to let those who come to serve the Most High know that, you cannot serve him in the flesh. We must put off and walk away from the works of the flesh and serve the Most High in the Spirit and truth and scriptures tells us. So I say to you all please do not the works of the flesh but put of the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
