Jesus Christ is an allergy to the earthly desire.  When two incompatible things compete with one another, only one can remain.  The other will be destroyed or leave.  When we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we are not immune from the same persecution he faced.  While the world makes us a Pariah for following Christ, we Yet, we can take heart and hold to the confidence rooted in our allegiance with the God who is victorious.  

When two things are yoked together, they direct the path of the other one.  This only works when the two are moving in unison together.  When they are not, it is a source of conflict and tension as the two cannot go in different directions.  For the believer and the unbeliever, our flesh still craves to go the direction of sin, running counter to our new life.
