Tylerhoward, I hope you are doing alright, I have been thinking about you and I hope you don't get discouraged. When we obey that form of doctrine we put off the former things and walk in a new life that is pleasing to God, by the word of God. However we still have a warfare we have to fight the fight and keep the faith. We all have lust of the flesh, we just have to keep it under subjection to the will of God. This is to keep from sinning and being back in darkness. The thing is to study and to know what sin is. It is hard thing to understand that we still have sin, but we don't give into sin because we are walking by the light of the truth. By walking in the light as Jesus is in the light, we keep the warfare. We all have lust of the flesh but we don't give in to that lust. Not all have the same lust, but we all have a warfare, if we have obeyed that form of doctrine.
