Overcoming Lust to Walk in Righteousnessনমুনা

In addition to staying in God’s design simply because it’s in the Bible (although, that’s all the reason you need but I find that assurance comes through maturity for many) but we should be communicating the WHY—the HEART. And it’s this:

We choose to follow God’s design for sex and relationships BECAUSE we love Jesus. And our love for HIM is bigger than our desire for anything else.

Again, it’s not about NOT doing the thing but rather being obedient to God.

If we choose to approach purity from the lens of a “no” to a “yes” then there is a perspective shift. It’s our love for God that supersedes any other desire.

If the approach is a “yes” to loving God rather than a “no” it makes a difference. It’s not about leaving a desire unfulfilled but rather seeing that only Jesus can bring the fulfillment.

Let us point to Biblical teachings but also to the heart matter that we might stand strong in the face of worldly teachings and temptation.
