Flee, kill and keep yourself pure!

’’… keep yourself pure’’ (1Timothy 5:22).

What Paul said to Timothy says to all Christians, especially young people.

Keep yourself pure, keep your heart, your thoughts pure,  because only the pure in heart will see God, without holiness no one will see God.

To keep yourself pure, keep  your heart with all diligence, keep your feet from every evil path, keep the Word of God in your heart, don’t keep any wicked thing before your eyes.

To keep yourself pure, flee! Flee from youthful lusts, from all appearance of evil, from the corruption of the world.

To keep yourself pure, kill!  Kill the deeds of the body, all sinful thoughts and desires before they can give birth to sin.

Keep yourself pure to glorify your Lord, to grieve the devil, to be safe and happy, to be an example to others.

Keep yourself pure at all times and everywhere, keep yourself pure when none but God sees you.

Keep yourself pure  if you want to go to the place where nothing impure will enter.
