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.
