📖 Summary
Pornography is not just visual sin —
it’s a spiritual rebellion that corrupts God’s design for sexuality
and dehumanizes people made in His image.
Jesus declared that lust itself is adultery of the heart. (Matt 5:28)
1️⃣ Introduction | “It’s just watching — not doing.”
Many say,
“It’s not sin if I don’t act on it.”
“Everyone does it.”
But Jesus redefined purity at the heart level.
Pornography isn’t harmless — it’s the seed of spiritual death.
2️⃣ Biblical Foundation | Lust Is Heart-Level Adultery
📘 Matthew 5:28 (ESV) — “Everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent
has already committed adultery in his heart.”
📘 1 Corinthians 6:18–20 (ESV) — “Flee from sexual immorality…
you were bought with a price.”
📘 Job 31:1 (ESV) — “I made a covenant with my eyes.”
→ God calls His people to purity not just in deed, but in desire.
3️⃣ Theological Insight | Pornography as Modern Idolatry

📜 Herman Bavinck — “Pornography destroys the image of God in man.”
