Hey my loves! Today I’m talking about a very relevant, or
sadly irrelevant topic to many young people today- purity! Although it may seem ‘outdated’ by today’s standards, purity is a BEAUTIFUL thing that we have all to strive for, men and women alike. However, as women, guarding our purity is
something that is SO important to our Heavenly Father’s Heart. This episode establishes the Biblical basis and foundation of ‘purity’, namely that which comes from God’s
character. There are SO many different elements of purity, not just sexual purity (which is my next episode!) Yes, we are to be holy with our bodies, meaning no sex until marriage. However, purity is SO much more than that!
We have to be pure in body, mind, and soul. As God’s
children, a Royal Priesthood, we are called to be holy as He is holy, just as He is just, and pure as He is pure. We won’t always get it perfect, and we will slip at times. But God knows a truly humble, and contrite heart. There is no room for condemnation with the Holy Spirit, just loving conviction. If you’re thinking, I’m already a Christian, I don’t need to act pure… Been there. Give God a chance and listen to how He tells us to live the lives that He has given us. Remember,
YOU are chosen, honoured, and loved! ACT LIKE THAT TODAY!
Here are the Scriptures that I used in this video:
Titus 2:5- “To be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind,
and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.”
James 3:17- “But the wisdom that is from above is first
pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
1 John 3:3- "And everyone who has this hope in him
purifies himself as he is pure.”
Habakkuk 1:13- “Your eyes are too pure to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?”
Romans 6:1-2- “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on
sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?”
Colossians 3:5-17- “Put to death, therefore, whatever
belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust,
evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the
wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against
someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word
or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
1 John 1:9- “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
Matthew 5:8- “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
