1 Peter 4:2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
If you say that lust can be a powerful thing then you have just fallen into the trap – lust is the most powerful thing that will drive us away from righteousness.
I am not just talking about the lust of the flesh either, though most people will identify with that when the word is said.
Lust will make us do so much more than we should do because it is like a black hole that sucks everything into itself, hiding the light of truth.
God’s will is not that we follow our lust but think about His will and try to follow Him.
