Psalm 119:9-10 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to your word.
Purity is a topic of discussion that is often avoided in today's secular world. However, in the Bible it is a topic of great worth and importance. God is giving the people of today the keys to the path of purity. It simply states in Psalm 119 that living according to God's word is what will allow us to renew our minds and stay pure before the Lord. Often times purity is only thought of in the physical aspect. However, the definition of purity is the condition or quality of being pure; freedom from anything that debases, contaminates or pollutes, etc. Purity is not a topic only to be discussed with those that have not yet been married, it is a characteristic that everyone must strive for on a daily basis. Our thoughts, actions and words are also a big part of being pure before the Lord. He doesn't say only stay pure physically, he says be pure. Be pure in what you do, God knows the motivation of your heart, be pure in what you say, and be pure in how you think! Take time today to think about what you watch, what you listen to and what you are saying. Does it line up with the word of God?
