This does not agree with God’s Word.
There are rules and standards.
C. Lawlessness.

As Christians, we must keep all of God’s laws and man’s laws.
Our desires and ambitions should be under the control of the Lord.

PUNISHMENT OF TEMPTATION—v.
A. Sin—“Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin.”

Coveting is lust.
Lust is, sin, and sin displeases God.
B. Separation—“And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
This death means separation from God ().
Separated from God on earth and in eternity.
