Purity

I do think that society has lost the concept of purity. From dress to commercials we are constantly hit with impure images and ideas. I do agree that it does take effort and we should continue to teach and promote being pure. It would be easy to say "ditto" to all the other posts on purity this week, but here goes.



So what does purity mean? I went to the dictionary and here's what I found.



purity: the quality or state of being pure...which led me to...

pure: unmixed with any other matter



What about the "Purity of God"?

God loved us and sent His Son. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

True love is pure. So many things these days are labeled as "love", but are they pure? The purest love we know is from God...His pure love is seen in the fact that Christ died for our mistakes.



God, being holy, couldn't "mix with other matter", but He loved us! So Jesus came and died for our imperfections. Making us the "state of being pure". God's love purifies us! God's love is a holy love.



There are so many immoral and false ideas of love in the world. Don't settle for the cheap imitation...go for the "pure" thing! 100%
