This article is the third in a four-part series, “Ruling Over Our Sexuality for God’s Glory,” in which we view male sexual desire through the biblical lens of creation, fall, redemption/restoration. In this week we begin to look at how Christ sets us free from slavery to lust. A good starting point is preemptively directing our heart into three particular channels that will strengthen us against the attacks of lust.
The fourth beatitude is, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. This attitude, says Jesus, is the path to the satisfaction of our God-given human desires. This article examines what’s required to exhibit this character quality.
Paul tells us that part of our mission as Christ-followers is to battle lust. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who don’t know God (1Thess. 4:3-5). This article gives a biblical overview of both the creation of our sexual appetite and how that has become corrupted by sin.
