2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
The desire to have what's not legally ours or what belong to others is the lust of the flesh. This is common in our time, thus the Master says "flee from it". The instruction is clear enough for us all. Don't negotiate with the thoughts of having what your neighbor has. Don't be caught in the thought of sleeping with someone who's not your wife or husband. Stop the the idea before it ruin your place in Christ.
The lust of the flesh is termed 'youthful' because it's common among youths and it's very strong in holding it's victims. It's possible to find it in the lives of people who are not youthful by age but by heart. Thus every believer must guide against it.
God is a jealous God, who doesn't want to share His place in us with sin. Let us purify ourselves and be holy just as He is. For as He is, so are we in this world(1John 4:17).
Let's pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your lovely instruction to us today. We come to you just as we are, please help us to overcome every lust of the flesh and remain pure, holy as you are, in Jesus name. Amen.
