Galatians 5:19-20
Living by the Spirit's Power
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results:
sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure,
20 idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger,
selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group,
21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before,
that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
(NLT)
These desires should not be a part of your life. If they are give them to Christ and let Him remove them from you.
Sometime scripture itself explains it best, Romans 6:6-14 says,
“6 Our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives.
We are no longer slaves to sin.
7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin.
8 And since we died with Christ, we know we will also share his new life.
9 We are sure of this because Christ rose from the dead, and he will never die again.
Death no longer has any power over him.
10 He died once to defeat sin, and now he lives for the glory of God.
11 So you should consider yourselves dead to sin and able to live for the glory of God through Christ Jesus.
12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to its lustful desires.
13 Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning.
Instead, give yourselves completely to God since you have been given new life.
And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God.
14 Sin is no longer your master, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin.
Instead, you are free by God's grace.”
(NLT)
Do not let sin control your life for it is no longer your master but now Jesus Christ is your Lord and King of your life. And the life that He now gives you is everlasting. For His love is everlasting.
