nature, but we can allow the Holy Spirit to keep us from the temptation and resist evil through prayer and strength.
After the rapture, when we are in the loving arms of the father, sin will no longer exist within our flesh because we will have been transfigured, leaving the sin nature behind. There will not be any lustful thoughts in our minds and hearts, because along with our fellow brethren our desires will be of God and the goodness of his glory filling our temple in heaven to the brim. His holiness and purity will reside forever in our spirit and we will live with the innocence that was created in the garden, walking in love with the Lord as our only form of existence.
When the temptation of sin stirs us we must rebuke the devil and realize that the lust is only temporal and fleeting at best. We must weigh our eternal soul with the repercussions of sin and take it one day at a time to work towards our minds set in Christ. |
