What Is The Lust Of The Flesh?

The lust of the flesh simply refers to sinful lusts and desires such as sexual immorality, fornication, adultery, and all other works of the flesh Galatians 5:19-21 talks about what our sinful flesh naturally wants to do.

The lust for the flesh is the reason why sexual immorality, fornication, and adultery are rampant in our society and even in the church today. Also, the spirit of lust reigning in a lot of people is the reason why there is so much sexual perversion in our society today.

All the abortions and unwanted pregnancies you see all due to the spirit of lust reigning in many people’s hearts, especially the young people of today’s wicked generation.

You need to understand that since we are naturally born sinners, we naturally desire to fulfill these sinful fleshly desires that are contrary to God’s word.

You Can Only Defeat The Flesh Via Christ Jesus.

The only way you can overcome the spirit of lust in your life and the immoral evil thoughts that make your mind dirty is via the help of our Lord Jesus Christ who died for your sins so that sin does not have dominion over you.

When you invite and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior, you inherit a new nature Ephesians 4:24 talks about the new testament created in God’s likeness that will help you to no longer fulfill the sinful desires of the flesh.

You also need to remember that without Christ Jesus in your life, you can’t overcome the evil desires of the flesh as they come embedded with the natural sinful nature we are all born with.

So, if you are struggling with sexual sin, immoral evil thoughts, and evil desires, you need Jesus Christ in your life now so that you can be saved and no longer controlled by evil fleshly desires of the flesh.

Only when you become truly saved and give your life to Christ Jesus, will you find it easy to overcome the lust of the flesh along with its evil desires and passions it comes with.
