“LUST: The Sin of Lust” – 1 John 2:16
LUST: the craving of our undisciplined desires.
I. Lust will demand your allegiance. (Genesis 3:6)
- Lust drives us to become our own moral agent.
- The longer we look, the more we lust.
- Lust drives us to dissatisfaction.
II. Lust will demand your life. (James 1:14-15)
- It is our undisciplined desires that create an opportunity for sin.
- The product of fulfilled lust is sin.
- Our lust will eventually lead to our death.
III. Learning to discipline our desires.
- Your satisfaction must be found in Jesus and not your desires.
- Understand the sinful power of your flesh.
- Bring your flesh under the submission of the Spirit
When we bring our flesh under the submission of the Spirit,
we will find ourselves desiring the things of God.
