Such sin is a terrifying evil that must inevitably be punished.

 

 

A destructive fire akin to hell that swallows up everything we have

is the sin of lusting after a virgin with eyes of lust, straying from the right path,

being drawn to her with our hearts, hiding outside her door to peep at her, and committing sin.

Such sin is a terrifying evil that must inevitably be punished

(Ref.: Job 31:1, 7, 9, 11-12).

Therefore, Job made a covenant with his eyes (v. 1).

The reason is that the eyes are full of desires (1 John 2:16),

and human eyes are never satisfied (Proverbs 27:20).

Human eyes are full of adultery and constantly commit sins (2 Peter 2:14).

Pastor Lloyd Jones said this:

‘Your eyes are the problem. Where your eyes go, your heart follows. ...

If there is something that tempts you, do not look at it! ...

Guard your eyes from coveting. Do not stray from looking straight ahead. ...

Make a covenant with your eyes to look straight ahead.

Focus only on what God commands, on what is holy and heavenly.’
