Homework Assignment 2
Are you loving the things of the world (i.e., the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life)?
Do you love getting drunk, over-eating, participating in sexual immorality or illicit drugs?
Or, do you love coveting selfishly possessions, such as clothes, jewelry, cars/trucks, sport equipment, stereos, computers, cell phones, homes, etc. or relationships? If so, what do you plan to do about it, and why?
1 John. 2:17
Why shouldn’t we lust as Christians?
What happens to the one who does the will of God?
[As Christians, we shouldn’t lust because the world and its lusts are temporary/momentary, and it’s, therefore, a poor investment, while the one who does the will of God abides forever (has eternal life with God; has no real ending, unlike the world and its lusts).].
Are you lusting after the world, or are you doing the will of God in order to gain eternal benefits/rewards (1 Cor. 3:14; 2 Cor. 5:10)? Why?
Titus 3:3
How does Paul describe these people’s past lives, as well as his own?
Are you still enslaved to your sinful, lustful desires? Why?
Are you still disobedient and deceived by your own lust? Why?
Are you still living the way you once lived, even though Christ has set you free from bondage (i.e., enslavement) to sin? Why?
James. 4:2 What are some other consequences of lusting?
Have you ever envied others (selfish desiring of an advantage that another has, whether it’s a possession, position, or person) because you couldn’t obtain something you lusted for? What was it?
[Lusting over someone can lead you to fighting, separation, hurt feelings, adultery, or divorce.].
