WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT LUST AND LOVE IN THE CONCEPT OF MARRIAGE. Part 1
WHAT IS LUST?
Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Lust is a short term selfish goal towards someone or something. Lust is always temporary in nature and with one focus at a time. One can lust after opposite sex, money, position, properties, power or fame. Lust is define by the word “Get it by all means and turn back”. Most celebrity and wealthy people find their selves in this shoe, called lust love, and sooner or later they end up in divorce and miserable, because Lust has been interchanged with Love.
WHAT IS LOVE?
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 . Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5. does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6. does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7. bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
Love is to prefer to be with, share with, spend your time with, stand with and stand by someone or something than any other person or thing. Love is a long term goal, till death do us part. Love doesn’t die, it can be hidden but it last longer than lust. To love is to be ready to forgive and forget offenses. Love look away from wrongs and correct in love.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUST AND LOVE
Lust is for a moment. Love is for a life time.
Lust is after a short term savour, while Love is for a long term enjoyment.
Lust is all about taking advantage of others. Love is about inspiring one another;
Lust is build on selfishness. Love is build on Oneness.
Lust expires while Love doesn’t expire.
Lust complain bitterly, Love correct gently.
These are reasons why our parent still spend years together with their spouses even with all the challenges in their marriages, because they lived in Love and not in Lust.
WHAT IS MARRIAGE?
Marriage means, Union of Two Lovers who want to be together, share together, spend time together, stand with and stand by one another for life, and that’s why it’s called a vow.
Genesis 2:23-24.
23. And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
