Lust

20 ayet

Disordered sexual desire that objectifies another person. Jesus intensified the seventh commandment: 'Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart' (Matthew 5:28). James 1:14-15 traces sin's progression: 'Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin.' First John 2:16 warns against 'the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.' Romans 13:14 instructs, 'Do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.' Purity of heart (Matthew 5:8) is God's calling for his people.
