Jesus compares this war on lust with someone cutting off their own limb or gouging out their own eye. We must deal drastically with sin; this is the good fight of faith. But how are we able to defeat such a Goliath? Well, just like David defeated Goliath, we conquer lust by relying on the Lord as our help. We put to death lust by the Spirit of God!
