Evil Desires Jude 1:7

 LUST

Lust is not just uncontrolled, intense, illicit, sexual desire or appetite but lust is to have a strong or excessive yearning, desire or craving for something in an unhealthy way. 


Is there something in your life that you are lusting after in an unhealthy way? It could be money, it could be fame, it could be a substance or it could be a person. 


I think Colossians 3:5 sums up beautifully how a Christian should respond to lust. “So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires.


Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. The 7 deadly sins.


Jude 1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.


In His Name
