Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation; the old has gone,
the new has come!

Anyone who has followed Christ for 15 minutes knows there is a constant battle between the old, carnal man and the new spiritual man that was born in us when we accepted Christ as our Lord and Saviour. This verse is helpful and was written to the Corinthians which would probably make today's "Christian in name only folks look like absolute saints. So Paul was reminding these folks and as the this was also meant for us to read, to help us remember to feed the new man the word of God, pray and make contact with the Lord daily to make sure we are walking closely and don't lose our way.
Our hearts are deceitful and wicked and can justify just about anything in order to get pleasure. So we must be sure the pleasures in life we are seeking are:
1. The will of God for us in the first place
2. Good for us and not harmful to anyone else either.
I think that's a pretty good acid test that doesn't even require a spiritual mindset as much is just common sense.
