1 Peter 4:1

Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh (and died for us), arm yourselves (like warriors) with the same purpose (being willing to suffer for doing what is right and pleasing to God), because whoever suffered in the flesh (being like-minded with Christ) is done with (intentional) sin (having stopped pleasing the world).

We need to be intentional when we think about our faith, not that it is something we read about in the Bible but that we act upon it in principle. Our lives are not separated from the teachings of Jesus; we are co-warriors in the faith doing what is right and pleasing to God. Society imposes pressure to conform to sin because if a majority does it, then it is okay. No. We, as Christians, are done with sin.
