Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh… God strives with man in many ways by the working of His blessed Spirit within him; by the working of our own conscience, by various warnings from without constantly strewn in our paths; but if we grieve and resist the Holy Spirit of God, then He will not always strive with us, but will give us over to a reprobate mind. I. Consider the great mercy of God, in consenting to strive with man at all. II. The striving of the Spirit is a means of resisting the flesh. III. The Spirit of God strives in many ways. His strivings have a meaning, a message, and a warning to us all. (Bishop Atlay.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. |
