In the biblical context, lust is frequently associated with desires that are contrary to God's will and commands. It is an inward sin that can manifest in various forms, including sexual immorality, covetousness, and idolatry. Biblical References and Teachings: 1. Old Testament Insights: The concept of lust is addressed in the Ten Commandments, where covetousness is prohibited: "You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor" (<a href="/exodus/20-17.htm">Exodus 20:17</a>). This commandment highlights the sinful nature of desiring what belongs to others, which can lead to further transgressions. 2. New Testament Teachings: Jesus Christ expands on the understanding of lust in the Sermon on the Mount: "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (<a href="/matthew/5-28.htm">Matthew 5:28</a>). Here, Jesus emphasizes that lust is not merely an external act but an internal sin that corrupts the heart and mind. 3. Apostolic Writings: The Apostle Paul frequently addresses the issue of lust in his epistles. In <a href="/galatians/5-16.htm">Galatians 5:16-17</a>, he contrasts the desires of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit: "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want" . Paul urges believers to live by the Spirit to overcome the sinful desires of the flesh. In <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-3.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:3-5</a>, Paul instructs the church on sanctification and sexual purity: "For it is God’s will that you should be sanctified: You should avoid sexual immorality; each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God" . This passage underscores the importance of self-control and holiness in the life of a believer. 4. Warnings and Consequences: James warns of the destructive nature of unchecked desires: "But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death" (<a href="/james/1-14.htm">James 1:14-15</a>). This progression from desire to sin to death illustrates the grave consequences of allowing lust to take root in one's life. Practical Implications for Believers: · Guarding the Heart and Mind: Believers are called to guard their hearts and minds against lustful thoughts and desires. <a href="/philippians/4-8.htm">Philippians 4:8</a> encourages focusing on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. · Pursuing Holiness: The pursuit of holiness involves actively resisting lust and seeking to live a life that honors God. This includes accountability, prayer, and immersing oneself in Scripture. · Relying on the Holy Spirit: Overcoming lust is not solely a matter of human effort but requires reliance on the Holy Spirit. <a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a> describes the fruit of the Spirit, which includes self-control, a vital attribute in combating lustful desires. Conclusion: While the Bible acknowledges the reality of lust as a powerful and pervasive temptation, it also provides guidance and resources for believers to overcome it through the power of the Holy Spirit and the transformative work of Christ.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>LustOriginally meant any longing desire, however innocent, De 12:15 14:26. But, in tacit acknowledgment of the depravity of man's passions, general usage soon attached the idea of guilt to the word; and now it usually denotes carnal, lascivious desire. In <a href="/context/galatians/5-17.htm">Galatians 5:17</a>, we see that the aspirations of the heart renewed by the Holy Spirit, oppose and will subdue the native evil desires, <a href="/1_corinthians/15-57.htm">1 <a href="/1_corinthians/15-57.htm">1 Corinthians 15:57</a></a>; but in the unrenewed heart these reign uncontrolled, lead to greater and greater outwards sin, and secure eternal death, <a href="/context/james/1-14.htm">James 1:14</a>,15. <a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Sinful longing; the inward sin which leads to the falling away from God (<a href="/romans/1-21.htm">Romans 1:21</a>). "Lust, the origin of sin, has its place in the heart, not of necessity, but because it is the centre of all moral forces and impulses and of spiritual activity." In <a href="/mark/4-19.htm">Mark 4:19</a> "lusts" are objects of desire. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (n.) Pleasure.2. (n.)

It probably meant at first a strong desire, a craving, abnormal appetite, not only for physical but for spiritual satisfaction. It has come, however, to be confined in its use almost entirely to the bad sense. Some old translations are not accepted now, the word being used in connections which at present seem almost irreverent. Shades of meaning are learned from an examination of the Hebrew and Greek originals. 1. The Old Testament Use: The substantive and verbs are: (1) Nephesh, in <a href="/exodus/15-9.htm">Exodus 15:9</a> and <a href="/psalms/78-18.htm">Psalm 78:18</a> translated "desire"; "My desire shall be satisfied"; "by asking food according to their desire." A strong but not sensual sense. (2) Sheriruth, meaning "obstinacy," evil imagination. Yahweh said (<a href="/psalms/81-12.htm">Psalm 81:12</a>), "I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart," a willful self-satisfaction. (3) Ta'awah, "a delight" "a longing satisfaction," and so it came to mean "sinful pleasure." Translated in <a href="/psalms/78-30.htm">Psalm 78:30</a>, "that which they desired," intensely longed for, referring to Yahweh's provision of food in the wilderness. Also in <a href="/numbers/11-4.htm">Numbers 11:4</a> concerning "flesh to eat" it is said the multitude "lusted exceedingly" i.e. "craved eagerly. (4) Chamadh, the verb meaning "to delight in," "greatly belove," "covet," probably for evil purposes. The young man is warned against the evil woman (<a href="/proverbs/6-25.htm">Proverbs 6:25</a>): "Lust not after her beauty." Here the bad sense is evident, for in the same connection are used such expressions as "harlot," "adulteress," "evil woman." (5) 'Awah, meaning "greatly to desire," long after, with undue emphasis, with evil spirit though not perhaps with impure thought. In <a href="/numbers/11-34.htm">Numbers 11:34</a> reference is made to a place called qibhroth ha-ta'wah, "the graves of lust, where "they buried the people that lusted." <a href="/psalms/106-14.htm">Psalm 106:14</a> also refers to the Israelites who "lusted exceedingly." Translated in <a href="/deuteronomy/12-15.htm">Deuteronomy 12:15, 21</a> "desire of thy soul"; 12:20; 14:26, "thy soul desireth." These Deuteronomy passages evidently mean lust only in the good sense. 2. The New Testament Use: As in the Old Testament, so in the New Testament we find both meanings of the word. (1) Epithumia is used most frequently, and means a longing for the unlawful, hence, concupiscence, desire, lust. The following references hold the idea, not only of sinful desire known as "fleshly," "worldly," as opposed to "spiritual" "heavenly," "the will of man" as opposed to "the will of God," but also the sensual desire connected with adultery, fornication; verb in <a href="/matthew/5-28.htm">Matthew 5:28</a> <a href="/mark/4-19.htm">Mark 4:19</a> <a href="/john/8-44.htm">John 8:44</a> <a href="/romans/1-24.htm">Romans 1:24</a> <a href="/1_corinthians/10-6.htm">1 Corinthians 10:6</a>; <a href="/galatians/5-16.htm">Galatians 5:16, 17, 24</a> <a href="/titus/2-12.htm">Titus 2:12</a> <a href="/1_peter/1-14.htm">1 Peter 1:14</a>; <a href="/nasb/1_peter/1.htm">1 Peter 1</a> <a href="/john/2-16.htm">John 2:16</a>; <a href="/jude/1-16.htm">Jude 1:16, 18</a> <a href="/revelation/18-14.htm">Revelation 18:14</a>. (2) Hedone, delight in sensuality, hence, wicked pleasures; translated in <a href="/james/4-1.htm">James 4:1, 3</a> "pleasures": "Your pleasures that war in your members"; "Ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures" (the King James Version "lust"). (3) Epipotheo means to crave intensely the wrong possession; translated in <a href="/james/4-5.htm">James 4:5</a> "long (the King James Version "lusteth") unto envying." (4) Orexis, used in <a href="/romans/1-27.htm">Romans 1:27</a>, from context evidently meaning "lust" in the worst sense; translated "lust." (5) Pathos, meaning "passion" inordinate affection, with the idea in it of suffering; translated in <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-5.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:5</a> "passion of lust."
