Let's look at verse two: "that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God." The word "lust" in Greek speaks of any strong craving, here an evil craving. It is in order that we should no longer live the rest of our earthly life in the sphere of the cravings (lusts) of men, but live in the sphere of the will of God. My friend, If we do the will of God, then we will invest the rest of our time in that which is lasting and satisfying; but if we give in to the world around us, that time us wasted and we will regret it when we stand before Jesus.
We need to strive to live godly lives and refrain from sin. We need to decrease and God needs to increase in our lives.
