Lust Is Cravings For Things Of This World That Tease You To Disobey Jesus Christ
God gives the things we need in this world and even our wants — but when anything of this world is teasing your heart to disobey Jesus, then you are lusting for the things of this world.
Examples of Lusts (Cravings)
- Craving to use your body for joining it to another body (“touching”) outside of Christ’s pure love.
- Craving to have what others have until you hate them (envy).
- Craving to be rich or to have more just because you love what money can do. This particular lust is a doorway that leads you into other lusts. For those who love to obey the Holy Bible Jesus Christ, it is inevitable to have financial security, a spouse, or other needs and wants, at some point that He chooses, if that’s in His plan for you to glorify Him. Walk with Him in His patience and it will be easier to wait. “None that wait upon the Lord shall be ashamed.” (disappointed).
9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition (1 Timothy 6:1-20). (underline mine)
BUT …
ISAIAH 48:17
17Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
Who teaches you to profit,
Who leads you by the way you should go.
