Isn't it Obvious?

Galatians 5:13-26

 
13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

In today's society, it seems that everything that once was OBVIOUSLY WRONG is suddenly so very right.
And those who don't agree with today's version of right and wrong are viewed as ridiculous and wrong...
However, the Lord makes it all pretty clear, doesn't He?
Is there really any reason to debate?
Wrong is still wrong..
And right will always be right.
How can I say this with confidence?
Because we know that God never changes.
He is Sovereign and Holy and has spoken His Truth to us in His Word, the Bible.
He ordains right and wrong.
His ways are not our ways, so it is impossible for us to try to reason it all out.
Our place is to read and believe.
