We must keep our desires in check
17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are
darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of
heart. 19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.
Ephesians 4:17-19
All of our desires have been corrupted by sin
Ephesians 4:20-22
But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in
Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, [a] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,
We cannot win this battle by accident
23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness
and holiness.
Ephesians 4:23-24
1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, [a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to
Gd, which is your spiritual worship. [b] 2 Do not be conformed to this world, [c] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by
testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. [d]
Romans 12:1-2
