Lust

Meaning: sinful longing

Lust is a inward sin which leads to the falling away from God (Rom. 1:21). “Lust, the origin of sin, has its place in the heart, not of necessity, but because it is the center of all moral forces and impulses and of spiritual activity.” In Mark 4:19 “lusts” are objects of desire.
