Do Not Lust

In this powerful exploration of Christ's commands, we're reminded that God's laws are not burdensome, but are designed for our freedom and well-being. Focusing on Matthew 5:27-30, we delve into Jesus' teachings on adultery and lust, discovering how He elevates the law beyond mere external conformity to matters of the heart. We learn that God is concerned not just with our actions, but with our deepest desires. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts and pursue true holiness, recognizing that the law reveals both God's perfect character and our own sinfulness. As we grapple with these truths, we're encouraged to wage war against sin in our lives, not out of legalism, but from a place of grace and gratitude for Christ's finished work on the cross.
