“Pure” Greek Katharas – Strongs #2513 – Without blemish, clean, undefiled, pure. The word describes physical cleaness (Matthew 23:26, 27:59) ceremonial purety (Luke 11:41, Romans 14:20) and ethical purity (John 13:10, Acts 18:6). Sin pollutes and defiles, but the blood of Yeshua washes the stains away.
7 Reasons to stay pure:[1]
#1.You should be pure because God has a great plan for your life. Purity provides the indentity for which you are surching. With morality comes the realization of destiny.
#2. You should be pure because the wages of sin is death. Immorality is like snake venum. I don’t care what part of the body it enters, its victim will be poisoned. I don’t care how small a portion he takes in, destruction will occur.
#3. You should be pure because immorality blurs your vision. It blocks your perception, and you can’t think clearly. It allows you to be consumed with lies and negative thoughts. It kills your joy and consumes you with guilt. Guilt is ruthless. It never gives you a moment’s rest or peace. It presses in on you until your spirit, soul and body is ravaged by it.
#4. You should be pure because
immorality drains your self-esteem.
#5. You should be pure because immorality will hinder the blessings of God. When you have a spirit filled with impurity, it hinders God’s ability to bless you
#6. You should be pure because immorality burns bridges. It draws people away from you. The first person it draws away is yourself. You don’t like yourself. You reject yourself, and others don’t feel comfortable around you because you are angry and bitter. They’re afraid you are going to hurt them, so they want to get away from you. When you make a commitment to God, to purity, He’ll draw the right people into your life.
#7. You should be pure because morality costs less – a lot less.
