Live forever.
"For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever" (Romans 8:13 AMP). Jesus has equipped us, every believing individual, with the Holy Spirit. Every day we wake up with the choice of whether we will seek the Lord and have fellowship with Him or if we will ignore Him and do as we want to do. The Holy Spirit is here to equip us to live a life pleasing to God the Father. He equips us to live a life of victory, not only over sin but alive with a life that illuminates the Lord Jesus through us. Life in the flesh can never illuminate God's true nature inside of us, because the flesh will always desire things for itself and not for others. How can we be of a help for this generation if we walk in the flesh? It's impossible to help this generation in the flesh because the flesh only brings spiritual death and a death that is lifeless with no foundation. People truly want to know God, and they want salvation, true salvation that will change their lives. Many don't want to live being controlled by the sin nature anymore. That is why God the Father sent His Only Begotten Son. He came to take care of the sin, to wash us, to cleanse us, and to redeem us back to God the Father. Not only did God give us His Son to help us, He also gave us the Comforter, who will lead us along this journey. True freedom and liberty comes when the Holy Spirit has control of an individual. Victory over the flesh can only be won by the power of the Holy Spirit living in our lives. God bless you. Amen.
