Purity

Many people commit to purity by waiting for God's timing for romance, intimacy, and physical contact, but when tested, their plans for purity can fall by the wayside. The author defines purity as not just waiting for marriage to cross physical boundaries, but also waiting on God for romance, maintaining physical standards that save the best for marriage, and protecting one's heart and mind from ungodly ideas about love. Even married people have work to do to maintain this definition of purity, and most people say they stand for purity until they get tired of waiting and guarding themselves, then fail to do things God's way.

  • Introduction to Purity: This section explores the concept of purity, focusing on the value and challenges of maintaining purity in the context of romance and intimacy, guided by religious beliefs.

Many of you are committed to purity—meaning you’re willing to wait on God’s timing for love,

romance, and physical intimacy. That is until you’re tested and then it seems, all too often, those
plans for purity fly right out the window.

Before I go any further, let me give you my definition of purity. I’m not just talking about waiting
to cross the BIG line before you’re married, although that’s certainly a part of remaining pure.
I’m talking about waiting on God’s timing for romance, maintaining standards of physical contact
that reserve the very best of you for marriage, and protecting your heart and mind from ideas
about love that don’t line up with God’s standards. Under that definition of purity, we all have
work to do (even us old, married types). I’d guess that most of us are guilty of saying we stand
for purity until we get tired of waiting, or protecting, or guarding, and then we renege on our
decision to do things God’s way.
