| Love | LUST | |||
| Love can always wait to give | Lust cannot wait to take | |||
| Love puts the other person first |
Lust puts myself first | |||
| Love is an ingredient of sexual intimacy and would delay gratification till marriage |
Lust is an ingredient to | |||
| premarital sex and wants | ||||
| sex before marriage. | ||||
| Love brings out the mature you. |
Lust brings out the child in you. |
|||
| Love is committing to someone when they least deserve it |
Lust is driven by feelings without a sense of commitment. |
|||
| Love gives | Lust takes | |||
| Love builds up as it seeks to add value to people |
Lust destroys as it seeks to take value from people |
|||
| Love never fails as it is essential for the success of any meaningful relationship |
Lust always seeks what it can get and as such no meaningful relationship can be built on lust |
|||
| God is Love which gives life |
Lust is rooted in selfishness which comes from the devil and leads to death |
|||
| But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23) |
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like. (Galatians 5:19-21) |

As always, marriage is a journey and not a destination. The bible is the blue print while the Holy Spirit is your guide.
Love Always
