Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness (all that is virtuous and good, right living, conformity to the will of God in thought, word, and deed); [and aim at and pursue] faith, love, [and] peace (harmony and concord with others) in fellowship with all [Christians], who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Timothy 2:22 (AMPC)
The easiest and most effective way to walk away from something is to walk towards another higher and better thing.You shun the evil youthful lusts by aiming at and pursuing righteousness, faith, love and peace. All this is about your relationship with the Lord. Focus on your relationship with the Lord and there will be no place, time, or opportunity in your life for what’s wicked.
The Lord always gives new holy desires and the more we fellowship with Him the more these desires intensify and influence us.Secondly shun youthful lusts by aiming at and pursuing fellowship with all Christians, who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.Keep the right company of those in fellowship with the Lord who will encourage, admonish, and stir you towards what’s right and acceptable.
