The Path of Purity

May 13, 2015 | By Chuck

There are so many paths one can take in this life. The unfortunate thing is in our current culture the path of purity is not often traveled. Today it seems that the path of purity is almost hidden amongst the trees, brush and debris somewhere in the woods where few people find it. The path of purity is not a popular well worn way. In fact, one must be diligent and deliberate to find and walk the path of purity. Our world promotes impurity and mocks at the path of purity. Still, we"d all do well to walk the path of purity all of our days in this life. With all of this in mind, what's the answer? How do we walk the path of purity in an impure world? The Psalmist addresses this very topic and gives insight that will help us all. "How can a young person stay on the path of purity?"(Psalm 119:9a) That's the million dollar question and the one we've been pondering. The answer is not earth shattering but real, wise and truth. The answer: "By living according to your word."(Psalm 119:9b) The path of purity is laid out for us in the pages of God's Word. If we'll study the Bible we'll learn the path of purity and gain wisdom and strength to walk that way. No matter what's going on in our lives. No matter what mistakes and sins we've committed in our lives. No matter how little we know of the Scriptures. We all desperately need to be people of God's Word so that we can faithfully walk the path of purity all the way home to heaven.
