Tips on Overcoming Lust #6- Unlearn Lust


Lust is a learned intentional behavior. You can unlearn lust. You can follow several admonitions of the Word of God to battle this lust. You can walk in the Spirit (Gal: 5:16) and not gratify the desire of sinful nature. You can use Romans 12:2 and transform your mind with Scripture. God’s Word is a great tool to have at your disposal in this battle.

Moreover, we can fill ourselves with God’s divine power, given to us in salvation, so that we don’t follow evil desires according to 1 Peter 1: 3-4. I also like the verse in Colossians 3:5: “Put to death (or mortify) therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immortality, impurity, lust, evil desires.”
