不要自欺，神是不可轻慢的。人种的是甚么，收的也是甚么：顺着自己的肉体撒种的，必定从肉体收取败坏；顺着圣灵撒种的，必定从圣灵收取永生。(加拉太书 6:7-8)
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8)
As humans, we think we can get away with not obeying His words and rather follow what the world says instead just because we don't see immediate consequences at times, but the truth is like what the passage says: God cannot be mocked.
It's definitely not easy to not give in to the flesh, but in the bible, it is clear: For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
As long as we are willing, God will help us to not give in to the desires of the flesh which includes immorality, lust, gossiping, being unkind to others in words and actions, superstitious and turning to idols instead of acknowledging the one and only true living God.
