Bible Note: In all these matters one requires wisdom, KumKum. Striking a balance between the sinful flessh and the righteous spirit is extremely difficult - what I mean by this is that we all as christians desire to be righteous under God, this we attain by the blood of Christ. However we know also that our entire life we will have the company of our sinful flesh, which Paul laments in Romans 7 as being that thing which leads us to sin. A little earlier than the verse you quoted In ecclisiastes the writer states (v20) "For there is not a just man on earth who dooes good and does not sin" Infact it would seem that the writer is struggling with a similar problem as you which is "IF i am not to sin, how on earth can I do anything? - there is temptation and wickedness all around me, even in me" and this is the balance we must strike, dear kumkum, learning to depend wholly on the lord for our righteousness and our strength. If you fear that lust would overtake you in a relationship then it is good that you refrain from a relationship. Paul even commends it for those who the Lord predisposes to celibacy, but as you commented earlier you lust after one of your friends, so it seems we do not even need to have a relationship with someone to lust after them...do we then refrain from having friends? from looking at women at all? - no. We must adopt the correct attitude to women and to relationships. That is why we should read the scripture regularly and to have an active relationship with Christ, through prayer and communion and fellowship with our bretheren the bride of Christ. |
