Lust in the Bible: Matthew 5:28


Is it enough to just "do the right things"? Will that make us right with God? Not according to Jesus' famous teaching about lust and adultery, which state that God requires purity of heart as well as of body. That's bad news to anyone who thinks they're righteous before God just because of their perfect outward behavior!
