All flesh was created for God's pleasure - not our own. Our first priority for our own flesh is to use it to please God by giving it to Him daily as a "living sacrifice". If we take our flesh and seek self-pleasure from it, we are usurping God from off His throne by taking possession of what is rightfully His.

Through Christ, He has invited each of us back into the Garden - to live in eternal communion and fellowship with Him - but the thing is, if we come to Him - if we accept His invitation,  it must be a blood-stained invitation: we must enter the Garden through the narrow Gate - through Christ crucified, through the Cross. If we enter this way it means a crucified will: each one of us must leave our will - broken, bleeding,  and fully submitted to Him  - at the narrow Gate.  It is so narrow there is no room for self- will to pass through; because once we get back into the Garden of Eden and begin sweet, wonderfully  intimate, fellowship with Him again - BOTH TREES ARE STILL THERE! Both the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the Tree of Life are available to us who have entered back in, to eat of today. One tree's fruit is pleasing to HIM, the other tree's fruit is pleasing to US. One tree gives Life to us, the other gives Death. Life, by Biblical definition is to remain in constant,  unbroken,  fellowship with the Father - the source of all life. It is "death" to be seperated from Him (hence Jesus called them "dead" - "let the dead bury their dead") cast away from His presence.  In this sense, everyone on earth is a "cast away", stranded in a Desert called "Sin" - and only those who accept and drink the Water of Life and who eat the Bread of Life, will survive.  

So remember  - just making it back into the Garden isn't enough  - we must continually choose the right tree once we're there. We must choose to fellowship with and partake of Christ.  All religion comes from partaking and eating of the other tree - which, by doing som we exalt our will's over God's.  Christianity as a religion is the result of eating from the wrong tree, as are all other religions.  They all stem from a desire to do our own will - not God's.  Will He fellowship with,  bless and honour those who exalt their own will above His? Yet, every Sunday, those in rebellion to Him sing His praises, read His Book, and believe they are His people, chosen by Him. He does not choose us so we can continue eating from the tree of rebellion but so we can switch to the tree of obedience.  Understand this - we all face the same temptation Adam and Eve faced. The same snake comes to each of us and whispers in that voice so sweet and smooth, and encourages us to disobey Daddy's good and perfect will for us - which is only concerned with our well-being and safety. We arecall tempted daily to please ourselves,  not God, by using our flesh to pleasure us, not Him.  Selah.
