text: how can i serve god and live a normal life?is masterbation a sin?   serve god by doing what jesus would do. is masterbation a sin, if it involves lust then yes. jesus said whoever looks at a women to lust after her has commited adultery with her in his heart. obviously every man struggles with it. but its better to mess up and confess you are wrong, then say nothing wrong with it. of course you need to overcome it, because it is an addiction and the body will never become satisfied. just remember we will face god one day. so its best you do what you conscience tells you.
