Question
HOW CAN A MAN, particularly one who is a member of the Church of God, be able to turn away from the lust of the eyes?
Answer:
According to Romans 8:13 —
“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
The Spirit mortifies the deeds of the flesh. What is that Spirit? There is a pronouncement in John 6:63 which says—
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
The Word of God is the Spirit that can kill the lust of the flesh. If you have the word of God in your heart, it can kill all the evil in your life! That is written in Colossians 3:5—
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:”
There is no other way to take the evil in your life except for the word of God. Proof of that is written in Psalms 119:11—
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
David himself "hid God`s word in my heart..." Thereby proving that, really, God`s word is a potent weapon against all evil. In Hebrew 4:12 it states—
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
God`s word is life. It should be used as a deterrent to crimes for nothing is as effective. It is even more effective than the way some acknowledge as a true deterrent for solving crime — the death penalty. In fact, we have, for quite sometime now, in the history of mankind, have been implementing such penalties as electric chair, gas chamber, lethal injection, and the likes; still, crime rates continue to rise as years go by.
This is where a lot of people are mistaken: They did not study the bible — of spirituality. Spiritually speaking, the Bible is the only source of authority over man and his being because he is a creation from God and God knows best what to do about man. And the prescription of God in the Bible is that, His word is the most powerful and the most potent weapon in" combating evil in man. This is where a lot of institutions that were established by man failed. They use the wrong means of technique or device to combat evil. We should use God's Word to fight iniquities. This is the most potent of all! If people come to realize and have faith in the word of God, there will be peace and order even without police officers.
