The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
These are all problems that people struggle with. As long as we keep giving into any of these whether it be one or all we are going to make a gap between our relationship with God. Not saying that if we do "good" things that we are "better" in God's eyes. But if we aren't striving to rid ourselves of these acts of flesh then we clearly are nowhere near to comprehending what Jesus did for us on the cross. These are problems and if we aren't constantly battling against them then we are giving in to sin and not useful in God's kingdom.
