We all have a sin-based nature, which drives us toward fleshly or carnal lusts and desires, but when we become believers in Christ, we need to put away those carnal desires and begin walking with the guidance of the Holy Spirit which then comes to live within us. It also means that we have to get rid of all the old baggage we have, for with Christ everything becomes new. Unfortunately, that means not doing some things we used to do, or associating with some people we formerly associated with. But it's all for our good, for those old ways of behaviour and old associates will just drag us back down into the mire of carnality from which we've just escaped. So we need to look after ourselves, and be careful of our behaviour and our associates, if we want to be true believers in Christ Jesus! Much LOVE!
