Here Paul was not speaking to an unbeliever. He gave this word to a young man named Timothy, his brother in the Lord and co-worker in serving the Lord:.
If the lusts of the flesh were no longer a problem to Timothy because he was a saved, spiritual person, why would Paul have given him this strong word? And what does this verse mean for us believers today?
Whether young or old, we have a corrupted body of sinful lusts that are incited by the world. This evil world system is clearly defined in 1 John Today the world is increasingly persistent with its endless stream of sinful and unclean temptations.
And modern technology makes it so easy to gratify our lust by just a quick tap on our phone or a click on our computer.
With diverse attractions that cater to our lusts, the world is ever present, tempting us twenty-four hours a day. What should we do? We should flee! To flee means to escape, to turn away from.
Perhaps more than ever before in human history, we have to flee, to run away from, lusts. Giving in to or indulging in the lusts of our flesh brings damage to us. There is nothing temporally appealing about this decision since often times it can cost us.
That is why it is so important to make up our minds ahead of time that we will do the right thing lest the temptation take us by surprise in heat of the moment. How strong was his faith? When God is with us, whom shall we fear?
True love is honoring our God who desires so much to protect our moral integrity that He allowed His only Son to be tortured on a cross to get the message through to us. Though in jail he could sit there in his chains knowing that he had done everything he was supposed to and nothing more.
But Christians are able to harness strength from other brethren who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Surrounding ourselves with brethren who are truly like-minded is fundamental to our walk.
