“Lust of Flesh/Eyes”

Blessings folk!

Yesterday we saw what Eve did…

Gen 3:6
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
and that it was a delight to the eyes,
and that the tree was desirable to make one wise,
she took from its fruit and ate;
and she gave also to her husband with her,
and he ate.

She saw that the tree was good for food.
She saw that it was a delight to the eyes.
She saw that the fruit of the tree was desirable to make one wise.
She took from the fruit and ate.
She gave to her husband.
He ate.

She was deceived.
Adam sinned.
He knew what he was doing.

1 Ti 2:14
And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

Rom 5:12
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—


This is a pattern of sin today.

Look at what the Lord says through John…

1 Jo 2:15-17

Do not love the world nor the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh
and the lust of the eyes
and the boastful pride of life,
is not from the Father,
but is from the world.

The world is passing away, and also its lusts;
but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

See the similarity?
The lust of the flesh…tree was good for food.
The lust of the eyes…the tree was a delight to the eyes.
The boastful pride of life…the tree was desirable to make one wise.

The enemy uses the same pattern today.
Such is not from Father.
It is of the world.

The world is passing away.
The lusts of the world also.

Do not love the world.
Do not love the things of the world.
If you do so, then Father is not in you.
You are not in correct relationship with Father.
You are not saved.

The one who does the will of the Lord…rejects the temptations of the world…will live forever.
