Lust, in its most common expression, is the urge to initiate in sexual intercourse with another person. It may also manifest itself as the urge to view [[pornography]], think sexual thoughts, or have unnatural sexual arousals, such as a [[homosexual]] thought. God's laws against lust are strictly meant to be obeyed throughout the [[Bible]], for obedience justifies a believer by their [[faith]], thus creating eternal salvation by their acceptance of the Sacrifice of [[Christ]] to save sinners from their sins.
