2 Corinthians 7:1 (NIV)
7 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear
friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body
and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
In a world so full of distractions and temptations, purity
is difficult. Even more than difficult, the call to purity often goes forgotten
and ignored. "Cheap grace" (Jude 4) is substituted for a call to
passionate living. While we never want to give in to a works righteousness, we
also must remember that impurity through laziness or lack of commitment or
simple rebellion are contaminating to those claiming to be Christians and ruin
our influence before the watching world.
Thought for today: Do I honor purity in every aspect of life?
