Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

Lust is when you crave an aspect or trait of a person over the person him/herself. According to Dr. Tim Keller, this is a hunger for things we want, not a passion for the other person's well-being and existence.



If your definition of love stresses affectionate feelings more than unselfish actions, you cripple your relationships. - Tim Keller


You love a person, a soul, a being. Lust is intrinsically about ourselves. Love is intrinsically about sacrifice aka putting others before ourselves.
“Love is unselfishly choosing for another's highest good.” - C.S. Lewis
