But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery
with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
When Jesus spoke of Lust in Matthew 5:28-30
What Jesus is saying
IS TO DEAL RADICALLY WITH THE SIN OF LUST
BECAUSE Hebrews 4:12-14 says:
For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, like a two-mouthed sword.
It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet!
It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts.
There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God, for nothing that we do remains a secret, and nothing created is concealed,
but everything is exposed and defenseless before his eyes, to whom we must render an account.
***
In John 10:3,
Jesus says; His sheep hear his voice,
and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Lust within us, is very loud, drowning out the “Still Small Voice, ” from within.
Making it extremely difficult to hear his voice.
***
He knew very well the potential power that Lust can have within you
Lust’s goal is attempting that you worship two God’s (god’s) at the same time
With Lust, you will find yourself hating one and love the other and/or
be devoted to one and despise the other
causing you to be double minded
With Lust in your heart you have an inpure heart
your Praise and Worship to our God is nothing more than a charade
(a fake display)
