Purity Comes by The Word || Psalm 119:9 || Mid-Week Midrash #33

“How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.” – Psalm 119:9

We hear another church word: purity. What does that mean? It means “freedom from immorality.” That’s still a complex definition. It means to be free from things that are not morally just or right. We talked a few weeks ago about what it means when something is “right.” We discussed that the foundation for what’s right and wrong could come from the same source for you and me: the Bible. We have to continually read and meditate on what the Bible tells us and try to reach our middle ground. It can say the same thing but mean different things to you and me, so we would need to talk about it. We can achieve purity by living according to what God teaches us, which was made simple by Jesus: Love God and love others. I think I can do that. Can you?
