All things are pure

To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. – Titus 1.15-16

At the ned of the day there are only two classes of people, the pure and the defiled. There is only one difference between the pure and the defiled. The pure are those who have been made pure by the blood of Christ and the defiled are those ho have not been made pure.

False professors are a real problem. They settle in the church and their false professions begin to spread through the true church and their defilement begins to affect our purity.

In the church either people have been made pure or they haven’t.  There is no in between. This is a clear saying for us to beware of the false professors, but it is a challenge to us to make sure that we are pure.

For those of us who are true believers our purity must seen in all we do. Purity defines our lives and that is what separates us from the lost.

We must be pure, not only in sexual matters as we normally think, but in all things. We must be pure in our thoughts and our attitudes and our actions and reactions and on how we talk to and treat others. Our motives must be pure. Our dealings with the law must be pure. Purity means there is nothing untoward about us.
