Live No Longer for the Lusts of Men But for the Will of God

Normal Christians do not live any longer for the lusts of men but for the will of God. Obedience is not an option in the Christian life, and it is not legalism to obey God in holiness and righteous living for the will of God. And we must always remember that there is abundant grace for all in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
