Forgotten Virtue ~ Purity

Purity ~ freedom from sin or guilt

I love so much the freedom we have been given by the work that our Savior did on the cross. No longer do we have to carry the weight and burden sin leaves behind. Guilt we lay down and freedom we pick up.

Due to the price He paid and the value of the gift He has given, we should be highly motivated to live a life of purity. We should fight for and cherish every ounce of purity we have received. When we surrender our lives, ask our Father to come in and take over, we are set apart. Our lives are now worth so much more than just the sum of ourselves. We become a part of Him and His cause…which was to save that which was lost. Now, if some kind of change did not happen on our part, if we didn’t turn from our sin and turn toward our God then what was His sacrifice for? We are to example the beauty of His work in our lives. When we don’t turn to the things of this world to bring fulfillment, when we have peace in the midst of a storm, when our lives are running on all cylinders…people take notice. There is a natural pull toward you and people wonder what’s different? Then you have the perfect opportunity to share the love, grace and mercy of our King.

See the importance of holding your purity captive…to place high importance on preserving every ounce? Fight, resist, flee from sin and run ever so fast toward our God.
