Colossians 3:5
So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don't be greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry.I read a story about how Eskimos lure and kill wolves. The article said, “The Eskimo would coat his knife’s blade with animal blood then allow it to freeze. He would repeat this process again and again until the blade would be completely concealed by frozen blood. A wolf then follows the source of the scent and discovers it; he licks it, tasting the fresh frozen blood and licking it faster until the keen edge is bare. The wolf licks the blade and doesn't even notice the razor-sharp sting of the naked blade on his own tongue. His greedy thirst has been satisfied by it's own blood.” Lust is satisfying at start, but engaging in lust and shameful desires will most certainly will be your end, and just like a lured wolf, you won't even know it and you won't have anybody to blame but yourself. Your only way out is to do a full 180, repenting of your ways and coming clean to God.
