Bible Question:
Mat 5:27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' Mat 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. I have a question for these two verses. Is it possible that Jesus is saying that you shouldnt even look at your own wife lustfully? Becouse he just says a "woman". Cant that mean any woman? Im not married but i have a "friend" and if i cant look at her lustfully, im afraid i can never be in a relationship, ever. |
Bible Answer: Yes, Jesus is saying you shouldn't look at ANY woman which would include your wife. Those who are in lusts have the word of God choked out of them and are unfruitful (Mark 4:19); this is why we are called to "put off" our old man which is corrupted because of deceitful lusts (Eph 4:22)this is also known as moritfying the lusts of our flesh so that we would not be cjhildren of disobedience. (Col 3:5-7) The question is are you being taught HOW to put off your lusts? We cannot put on the new man without putting off the old man. (Lk 5:37,Mark 2:22)This is why God has to grant us repentance through a meek and patient instructor so that we could acknowledge the truth in such a way that we are recovered from doing the devil's will in our life and start doing God's will. (2Tim 2:24-26) Blessings in His grace, Ztheberean |
