Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

The Seductive Power Of Desire, Part 1 of 2 (Guard Your Heart)

February 12, 2019

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

It’s great to know that nothing can separate you from the love of God, not even your own death. Only a Christian can face the worst life has to offer and know it’s but a steppingstone to a glorious world that will never end.

Does confessing your sins over and over secure a place in heaven? No, it doesn’t. But when we understand justification by faith, we can have certainty about our future home. Let’s rejoice in our right standing before God!

A death-row inmate faces a grim future, but sometimes, a governor will commute the sentence. In a moment, the man’s outlook leaps from despair to joy. All of us deserve a spiritual death sentence, but God sent Christ to rescue us from despair.

When Christians read the Bible, they discover amazing blessings they’ll inherit as children of God. Our outlook on life becomes an uplook when we realize what lies ahead. What will we inherit because we received Christ by faith?

How would you react if a lawyer called, saying you had just inherited a million dollars from an unknown relative? If you are a believer, you have an eternal inheritance waiting for you in the world to come. And it is worth far more than a mere million.

Believers in Jesus were chosen by God in eternity past. This involved setting divine love upon them and sending the Son to win them as His bride. When life seems uncertain, our future is secure in the love of our infinite God. He will preserve us to the day of glory. 
January 30, 2019
As believers mature in the faith, they realize that salvation is not a result of our seeking God; it’s the result of God choosing us first. Why? If God had not done this, none of us would ever have chosen Him.
