Teaching
The Destructive Power Of Lust
Lust can lead people into sexual sin and destroy what God desires for their lives.
Scripture
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Truth
Lust can appear pleasurable while leading a person toward destruction and away from God's will.
Insight
- Lust can make sinful desires appear attractive while hiding their destructive consequences.
- Sexual temptation can gradually lead a person into choices that damage their life.
- What appears enjoyable for a moment can produce bitterness and consequences afterward.
- Believers are called to flee sexual immorality rather than entertain or nurture sinful desire.
- God's desire is not for people to be destroyed by lust but to turn from sin and seek Him.
Application

- Do not mistake temporary pleasure for lasting good.
