Study Guide Bible Edition🫶
Every week I want to focus on a Bible study 📖
This weeks topic is: LUST
I was NOT raised in a religious home, this is something I just happened to read into my research, that interested me;
In Roman Catholic theology, lust is one of the seven deadly sins. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that lust is the "disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure"
Have you ever lusted over something/someone?

Lust, defined as a strong and overwhelming desire, is more than just a fleeting thought; it's a significant topic in biblical teachings that warrants exploration. The Bible addresses lust not only as an emotional struggle but as an area needing vigilant oversight to align oneself with God's will. According to Philippians 4:8, focusing on pure and honorable things can help guard the mind against lustful thoughts. To actively resist temptations, it is essential to recognize situations that trigger lustful thoughts. 1 Corinthians 6:18 advises believers to flee from temptation, while Matthew 26:41 encourages prayer for strength to resist. Additionally, Romans 12:2 emphasizes the importance of renewing your mind with God's Word, which can transform your desires and promote healthier living. This approach is designed to strengthen one’s spiritual life against lust, framing it as a pathway away from sin instead of a simple moral failing. Engaging in discussions like #biblebasedbiblestudies can also enhance individual understanding and support within the community.
