Lust is often portrayed as a harmful desire that can lead individuals away from their spiritual path. In Matthew 5:28 (KJV), Jesus emphasizes the gravity of lust, stating, "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." This verse underscores that even internal thoughts can be sinful.
Similarly, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (KJV) teaches, "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication... Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God." This passage encourages believers to lead lives of sanctity, avoiding lustful behaviors.
1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV) advises, "Flee fornication... but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body," highlighting the personal consequences of lustful actions.
James 1:14-15 (KJV) describes the progression from temptation to sin, warning that, "when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
Furthermore, 1 John 2:16 (KJV) identifies lust as worldly, contrasting it with divine virtues. The Bible thus provides comprehensive guidance on resisting lust, promoting a life aligned with spiritual and moral values.
