Futility is "nonsense, nothingness, emptiness, frustration, purposelessness." This is how those who are not Christ's live - and what we need to stop doing as His. They do not understand, but we have the mind of Christ because His Spirit lives in us. We were also once blind, but now we see, albeit sometimes through a glass (mirror) dimly. We feel now what is right, not as the world who are numb to righteousness. Therefore we must pursue purpose and righteous thoughts and actions to please God as we were created.
Ephesians 4:17-19
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
