Isn't it great how sometimes you ask those questions and then they're answered so quickly through the Bible?
Going off of last times question on if you can accept God's love but not change... reading Colossians 3 makes a big difference.
Basically all of verses 1-15, but here's some high points:
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
Bahaha, okay so I lied and I just copy and pasted a whole heck of a lot, but it's okay because it's such a beautiful passage! Difficult, yes, but also beautiful.
And also it does reaffirm what happens when you accept his love.

Personal Corner:
So now I am going to meet up with my disciple-ee about the future. A little bit anxious, nay more than a little bit. But God is good.
