The Root of Lust: A Heart Issue
It’s no secret that our culture is obsessed with sex and pleasure. But when it comes to struggling with lust, it’s easy to point fingers at the world around us. However, the real problem lies within. We must acknowledge that our biggest sexual dysfunction isn’t environmental or cultural – it’s a heart issue.
Taking Ownership
As individuals, we have a tendency to write our own rules and pursue pleasure on our own terms. This self-glory and self-sovereignty are at the root of lust. To overcome this struggle, we must take ownership of our actions and desires. We can’t blame external factors for our internal struggles.
The Need for Help
Lust is a problem that can’t be solved in isolation. We need the help of a Redeemer and the support of others in our lives. This is where the gospel comes in – the good news that can redeem our sexual brokenness and give us a clear view of God’s original purpose for sex.
A Message of Hope
For those struggling with lust, there is hope. Your Savior is not shocked by your struggles, and He offers help and redemption. Don’t be afraid to run to Him and seek support from others. You are not alone in this fight.
Understanding God’s Purpose for Sex
God created sex with good purposes in mind, but we often view it incorrectly. It’s essential to understand God’s design for sex in the context of marriage and to seek His guidance in our struggles.
Finding Strength in the Gospel
In the face of inevitable struggles and sufferings, God gives us the only thing that can truly provide rescue, wisdom, and strength – Himself. Through the gospel, we can find the power to overcome our sexual struggles and live a life that honors God.
A Call to Action
If you’re struggling with lust, don’t wait any longer to seek help. Run to your Savior, and find support from others who can walk alongside you in this journey. Remember, you are not alone, and there is hope for redemption and healing.
