Hey Everyone,
1 Timothy 4:12
Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. (NLT)
Let’s look at what the Bible says about purity.
Psalm 86:11
Teach me Your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to Your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor You. (NLT)
2 Corinthians 7:1
Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body and spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God. (NLT)
Some people think that not having sex outside of marriage is the only way to stay pure. But it’s not.
Mark 7:20-23
20) And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 21) For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22) adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23) All these vile things come from within, they are what defile you. (NLT)
Purity also means purity of the heart. Some of you may ask how do I keep a pure heart? This is what the Bible says about that.
Psalm 119:9
How can a young person stay pure? By obeying Your Word. (NLT)
John 17:17
Make them holy by Your truth; teach them Your Word, which is truth. (NLT)
You can pray this prayer to ask God to help you keep a pure heart and body.
Dear God, I pray that You help me keep a pure heart and body. Please help me if I go to put anything in my heart that does not belong to You or that is of You. I Pray this in Jesus, Amen
Now don’t let anything that anyone says, does, or thinks stop you from following God!!!!
♥GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP YOU ALL SAFE♥
