Bible Question: Can a man lust after his wife? If so, is it sin? |
Bible Answer: Yes! Lusting after wife Sin. Part of two great commamdments is love your nieghboor as you love yourselves, Your wife is considered as your niegboors. God has specific teaching about man and wives: Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. When we read those passages, we noticed that it says "love your wife like youself" and LOVE has a different meaning from LUST. Mt 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Man and wife will become one flesh. If you lust your wife mneaning you lust yourself too. How could you offer this kind of Body to Jesus Christ? 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 19. 1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. "the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" If you the holy ghost which in you how can you lust in yourself? So the answer is very clear. "LUSTING AFTER WIFE IS SIN" I hope it would help. God bless, Johnny |
