Love Christ

It is not enough to try and do good while avoiding evil. The

problem is that evil gratifies our flesh and its lust which can never

really be filled. Any amount of caving into those desires leads to

more and stronger ones and then to addiction. That is why there is

no hope for the lost. Being slaves to sin they are trapped by their

lust and there is no escape. Save one, salvation through repentance

in Jesus Christ. Even Christians if not mature and self controlled

will constantly struggle if they don’t flee these earthly lusts. The

real secret is to love Christ (which is a natural response to

forgiveness) and by that I mean to love truth, obedience,

submission, kindness, honor, gentleness and ect… Its only when

we really love Christ and therefore His character that we will

pursue them. When that passion flows through you as you pursue

Christ you will be filled! That old stuff will be a forgotten trash

heap.
