Christ Died For Us

But that’s a lie according to Ed Young. That’s a lie from the enemy, because here’s what Scripture says about you.

      I Peter 1:18-19: “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”

      How much is an object worth? Well, it’s worth what someone will pay for it. What are you worth? The precious blood of Jesus.

      Some say, “Well, I'm just unloved. I'm unloved. I'm totally unloved. No one loves me. If they knew what I was involved in; if they knew the websites I was frequenting; if they knew the clubs I was attending; if they knew the conversations; if they knew the beds I was sleeping in, they wouldn’t love me. I’m really not loved.”

      Well, that’s not true either. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

      Something else people have told me about being caught in lust is that they’re unfulfilled.

And because of that, because of being unworthy, unloved, and unfulfilled, the fourth thing they say is, you know, sex is the biggest need in my life. It’s all about sex!

      Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will meet all of your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

      Exchange the truth for a lie. Just call the enemy what he is—a liar!

      “Well,” you might be saying, “Ed Young Jr, that’s it! Nice message on lust. I’ll see ya later.” 

No no no. That’s not it. There is hope for every luster here. It’s something that every single person deals with and struggles with. I don’t care how old you are. I don’t care if you're a boy or a girl. We all deal with it.
