RESIST LUST!
Jesus informs us “ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT A WOMAN
LUSTFULLY HAS ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY
WITH HER IN HIS HEART” [Mt 5:28 NI]. Jesus gets right to
the core of sin. It is our “EVIL THOUGHTS” [Mk 7:21] that
precede the act of sin and our “EVIL THOUGHTS” that
contaminate us spiritually. Some would like to think that they can
play around sexually and as long as they do not actually have
sexual intercourse, they have not committed adultery. Jesus keeps it
simple and tells if we even have thoughts of sex or lust for another
person, we have sinned in our heart. Yes, it applies to women also
and if you are unmarried remember Jesus tells us
“FORNICATION” [Mk 7:21 NRS] is also a sin. As followers of
Jesus we are called to a higher standard in addition to eliminating
acts of sin to eliminate thoughts of sin. Do you resist sin thoughts?
