Paul catalogs the destructive works of the flesh in chapter 5; actions produced by selfish motives are obvious, since they include sexual immorality, moral corruption, doing whatever feels good, idolatry, drug use and casting spells, hate, fighting, obsession, losing your temper, competitive opposition, conflict, selfishness, group rivalry,  jealousy, drunkenness, partying, and other things like that. [CEB]

Allowing the wants and needs of our flesh to control us will lead to destruction. Following the leading of God’s Spirit within us leads to a healthy, abundant life.

Why be destroyed?
