LUST: BIBLE VERSES (2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Lust

a) There are many words that come to mind when we think of sin in the Bible.  Sometimes a topic of sin will take our minds to the “Seven Deadly Sins.” One of these sins is the sin of lust.  The word lust seems to have an underlying message of pleasing one’s self.  It is often looking on something and having a passionate desire to have or obtain that thing or even person.  Sometimes this will be a sexual sin but not always.  We can lust on things that are not necessarily sexual but many times lust does involve sexual idolatry.

Matthew 5:28

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

2. Bible Verses 

Galatians 5:16  
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God.

1 Peter 1:14 
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance.

1 John 2:16 
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
