Galatians 5:24 states, "those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passion and desires."
The main idea of this verse is people who have Jesus in their hearts are no longer slaves to sin. Their old ways have died.
In the following chapter, Galatians 6:8 says, "the one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction, the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
This verse is essentially saying that if Christians lived to please anything (or everything) except God, the path would lead toward destruction.
Living to please the Spirit instead of earthly desires will reap eternal life. A God honoring (God fearing) life is not always easy but is ALL worth it in the end.
