Bible Study: Lust
Down through the ages, lust has been talked about and done. I have noticed that some people get very angry if they are accused of lusting.  There are many things that people lust for, but are all a sin to God?  Matthew 5:27-28 says: ‘Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Sin? Yes. Read Proverbs 6:25-29 and then in 1Peter 2:11 says “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.”  Some people say they were just looking. That’s when the word ignorance comes out. Were you just looking? Only two people know the answer to that; you and your Savior. You can’t slip anything by Him and it’s always best to face the truth for God knows what you are doing even before you do it.
Lusting for anything of the world can get you in trouble with the Lord. Thank God for what He has given you and don’t want for more.  Don’t covet what your neighbor has and don’t lust after the things of this world especially in fleshly lust as God has told us this is wrong to even think on these things. Our Savior is Holy and we must learn to be like Him so that we can reign with Him forever. Do you want a pure heart? Then flee all lusts of the flesh. Why? Because they war against the soul and can put your soul in hell. Lust is a weapon of the devil. Learn to quote scripture when these things enter your mind so that you do not keep them there or act on them. Then you can call on the Lord with a pure heart. When you lay down at night you can be sure that if the Lord calls you home, you are ready to go. Are you ready? Get a red letter KJV Bible and start reading as you pray for the Lord to open your heart and mind to His Word. Salvation is your ticket to Heaven and no person or denomination has the right to change it. Just seek God first and He will guide you on the right path to your reward.
