Jesus says that it would be better for us to enter the kingdom of heaven an amputee than to enter hell with all of our limbs. Therefore, if one of our members causes us to sin, we should cut it off. Now, Jesus doesn't mean this literally, but he's definitely trying to show us the importance of the purity of our actions as they relate to our bodies.
