CONCUPISCENCE, n. L., to covet or lust after, to desire or covet. Lust; unlawful or irregular desire of sexual pleasure. In a more general sense, the coveting of carnal things, or an irregular appetite for worldly good; inclination for unlawful enjoyments.
We know even secret concupiscence to be sin.
“But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.”
(Romans 7:8 KJV)
Everyone in Christ Jesus should know how to keep their earthen vessels unto honor and sanctification. Offering their bodies as living sacrifices, acceptable and pleasing unto God. As new creatures in Christ, old sins have passed away and behold, "all things have become new". New nature. Right spirit. Let those who despise be filthy still. For outside of Christ are dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, fornicators, adulterers, unbelievers, and those who love to make lies. Holding the truth in unrighteousness, speaking lies in hypocrisy. Some departing from the faith, "even denying the Lord that bought them". Come out from among the ungodly counsel of vain theologians who have swerved from the faith once delivered to the saints. And weak souls are hindered from entering into the kingdom of God because of false teachers "crept in unawares".
Prepare to meet your God. Maker of heaven and earth.
Turn away from BEHOLDING abominations. Touch not the unclean thing.
Do the first works: Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand!
EKKLESIA154
