Romans 13:14

Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

You remember when you were a kid and someone told you not to do something because it would end badly, but, you didn’t listen.  Simply stated, God warns us about the bad that can enter our lives.  He warns us of the pitfalls and destruction that we can avoid. He tells us if we put on Jesus a way is possible to avoid being controlled by the flesh.  He loves us that much.
