The devout Christian should ask if lust is in the heart when kissing. Mutual affection between loving partners is not considered sinful by most Christian denominations. It does mean, however, that we should be careful about what is in our hearts and to make sure we maintain self-control when kissing.

What does a kiss symbolize in the Bible?

A kiss can be a heavenly messenger for change. History has it that biblical heroes such as Moses, Aaron and Jacob, left this world for a better one as a result of a kiss from God. Many ancients felt that the kiss signified a death of the past, a renewal of self, and a rebirth into a higher world.
