Day 31 "You Are Purity"
Washed Clean
Good Evening Beauties!
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 (NLT) I don’t know about you, but I consider it a magnificent blessing to be allowed to see God. When are those time you’ve seen God? Seen Him. Felt Him. Heard Him? Describe your heart’s posture at those moments. Selah.
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 (NIV) Like I’ve previously mentioned, if we are true followers of Jesus, we must follow His example of how He lived His daily life.
Just know the enemy will fight you all the way as you step out in faith and live like Jesus. He will continuously attack your mind, telling you lies like, “how can you possibly be pure? I saw what you did, and I hardly call that wholesome and clean behavior." He’ll also attack your character, “you’ll never be like Jesus, you’re a failure” Have you heard the enemy say, “You’re too dirty to be a follower of Jesus. You’re not innocent, you’re a filthy sinner.” Selah.
Don’t believe the lies! You have been washed clean by our Lord Jesus Christ. Just take a look…
“In the past, some of you were like that, but you were washed clean. You were made holy, and you were made right with God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 (NCV)
Write down the lies surrounding your purity the Lord is revealing to you, then bring each one before the Him to replace with His truth. It’s an exercise you’re familiar with, and one that is important for your walk in purity, never having to feel unclean again. Selah
