According to [[Christian]] views, lust is a consequence of the separation of a person from [[God]] as a result of [[sin]], causing them to fall short of His standard. Some churches attribute lust to direct [[satan]]ic involvement, or advocate various means by which unwanted lust may be controlled.

The word 'lust' can also be used more generally to describe any intemperate or excessive desire, for example, lust for power. Lust for power, fame, or personal glory, is highly synonymous with the personality trait of narcissism.
