PURITY: IS IT AN IDEA OR OUR REALITY IN GOD?
Why should I be pure?, you ask, why can’t I be like others? Does God really care about my state of being pure? Should I be dressing modestly? Why can’t I talk the way the world talks? Must I be different?
These are questions that most believers ask and much more.
Need I remind you that we have been called to a consecrated life as Christians; the life we live now is not ours, it is Christ’s life. Galatians 2:20
The truth is we are not our own any longer, we have to begin to do, act, think and speak according to the nature of God as He is helping us. These concerns Him because we are actually His representatives here on earth, and His nature is Purity and Holiness among others, these cannot be overemphasized for us as His children.
A goat cannot beget a chicken, it can only beget after its kind, since we are begotten of Him, with Christ as the physical example to look unto, it must be in our consciousness to live and breathe holiness and purity; we must believe and practice it.
Just because the world is hostile to purity and holiness does not give us the permission to compromise kingdom values.
Purity is not popular, majority think it impossible and old school, it can only be possible if we release ourselves to be renewed daily. Romans 12:1-2.
Purity does not go by popular opinion but there are men whose knees have not bowed to baal or their lips kissed his idol 1kings19:18.
Therefore choose and dare to be different.
Shalom.
