Purity of Heart: Jesus’ Teaching on Lust and Sin

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day Bible study on purity of heart, lust, and sin as taught by Jesus in the Gospels. In Matthew 5:27–30, Jesus addresses the heart's deep condition, teaching us that sin goes far beyond external actions to what is cultivated within our hearts and minds. This study will guide you through Jesus’ radical call to transformation, focusing on how lust relates to heart purity and the seriousness with which God views sin.

The Gospels reveal Jesus as the perfect Teacher, who not only exposes the true nature of sin but also offers grace and empowerment to live differently. Lust is often misunderstood or minimized in today’s culture, but through this study, you will discover how Jesus wants us to recognize lust as a sin that defiles the heart and to seek holiness as a daily pursuit.

Each day, we will immerse ourselves in Scripture, reflection, and prayer to understand what it means to keep our hearts pure, to guard against the temptations of lust, and to experience freedom from sin’s bondage. This journey challenges us to look honestly at ourselves and to allow Christ’s teaching to shape our thoughts, actions, and identities.

Join us as we dive deep into Jesus’ teaching, learning how to walk in purity and live a life fully devoted to God’s holiness.
