Purity in all things

As we try to live a holy life we must remember to strive after purity in all areas of life. Think about that for a moment....what you watch do you turn the tv off or to another channel at sexually explicit scenes or vulgar language? Do you true the radio station at unwholesome songs? When someone is telling an off colored joke do ask them to stop or walk away? Do you dress in appropriate attire that is pleasing to God? Do you work honestly as working unto the Lord? We can go on and on, are we practicing purity in all areas of life and not just picking and choosing when to be holy and when not to.

1 Timothy 4:12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

1 Peter 3:1-3 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.

Ephesians 4:24 you put on the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.

Ephesians 5:3 But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

Think about your purity today...with the power of the Holy Spirit we can live pure and holy lives!
