Day 31 "You Are Purity"
Pure Beauty
Good Morning Beauties!
As we take the step into the last 10 days of our journey, I encourage you to take inventory of your thoughts, feelings, and wellness. There are just a few days left to make this experience all you had hoped for. Call out to God like never before, open your heart, and ask Him for what you need.
Today we’re going to look at one of my very favorite attributes, PURITY. The word derives from pure, which means, “Freedom from contamination; freedom from immorality. Virtuous, goodness, honor, integrity, worthiness.” In the New Testament, purity had little to do with ritual purity as in the Old Testament, but rather focused on moral purification.
When we look at scripture, we find the blessing of our purity. “God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
for they will see God.” Matthew 5:8 New Living Translation. I don’t know about you, but I consider it a magnificent blessing to be allowed to see God.
The Bible also paints the best example of purity for us in our Savior, Jesus Christ, “Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.” Hebrews 7:26 New International Version. If we are true followers of Jesus, we must follow His example in how He lived His daily life.
But how? How do we live like Jesus? We pray, and we ask the Holy Spirit, who dwells within us for help. Psalm 51:10 is a scripture we can pray, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Jesus’ work on the cross has made us perfect in the sight of God, The Father. He sees us as spotless, blameless children. That work has already been accomplished.
To walk on this Earth as Christ followers in purity is something for us to mindful of each and every day. Here’s a song that will help us focus on our desire to please God.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
