If you don’t fight lust
Verse of the day: Beloved, may I ask you to refrain from carnal passions, which make war on the soul?(1 Stone 2. 11)
- When I confronted a man about the adultery he was living in.
- I tried to understand his situation and asked him to go back to his wife.
- So I said.
- “You know.
- Jesus says that if you don’t fight this sin with the kind of seriousness of someone who’s willing to break his eyes.
- He’ll go to hell and suffer there forever.
- “.
As an avowed Christian, he looked at me in utter disbelief, as if he had never heard such a thing in his life, and said, “Does that mean you think a person can lose their salvation?”
Therefore, I have learned many times, from my own experience, that there are many nominal Christians who have a vision of salvation that disconnects them from real life, nullifies the threats of the Bible, and places the sinner who claims to be a Christian beyond. the scope of biblical warnings. I believe that this vision of Christian life comforts thousands of people who are on the wide path of doom (Matthew 7. 13).
Jesus said that if you do not fight lust, you will not go to heaven, it is not that the saints always succeed. The fact is, we’re determined to fight, not that we can do it without fail.
What is at stake is much greater than if the world were destroyed by a thousand long-range missiles, terrorists were bombing your city, global warming melting plugs, or AIDS would destroy nations. All these calamities can only kill cuerpo. no we fight lust, we lose our souls.
Peter says that the passions of the flesh fight against our souls. The risks in this war are infinitely greater than in any threat of war or terrorism. The Apostle Paul listed “prostitution, impurity, lustful passion, bad desire, and greed,” and then said, “For these things, does God’s wrath come?(Colosssenses 3. 5-6). And the wrath of God is immensely terrifying that the wrath of all nations together.
May God give us the grace to take our souls and others seriously and continue the struggle.
