What is the lust of the flesh? | GotQuestions.org

We all have desires for food, comfort, and even sex—but when do these normal human wants cross the line and become a dangerous, forbidden "lust of the flesh"? The Bible warns us that our battle against sin involves three massive foes: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). But what exactly is the sinful "flesh," and how does a basic desire for something like food turn into the sin of gluttony? Learn the truth about the powerful, rebellious nature we are born with, why pleasing this nature makes you an enemy of God, and the only way to truly defeat these "sinful lusts" so you can live for God's glory and secure eternal life (1 John 2:17).
