What does the Bible say about lust?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against lust, describing it as strong desire that leads to sin and separation from God.

In Scripture, especially in Numbers 11, we see lust depicted as a strong desire that results in dire consequences. The Israelites, influenced by a mixed multitude, became discontent with God's provision of manna, expressing a longing for the luxuries they had in Egypt. This 'graves of lust' references their desires that led to God's judgment. Lust, in this context, is not limited to sexual desire but includes any strong craving that distracts believers from their reliance on God, potentially leading them away from His grace.
Scripture References: Numbers 11:34, 1 Corinthians 10:12-14
