“You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
Lust is not just an outward act; it begins in the heart and mind, corrupting one's inner being and defiling their relationship with God.
In 1 John 2:16, the apostle warns against "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," which are not from the Father but from the world. Lust is a temptation that can lead believers away from God's perfect will, drawing them into a life of impurity and sin.
As believers, we are called to live in purity, setting our minds on things above and not on earthly desires (Colossians 3:2). We are urged to flee from temptation and renew our minds through the Word of God (Romans 12:2).
In doing so, we honor God and protect our hearts from the destructive power of sexual lust which ultimately leads to death.
