Pure....

1 Thes. 4:3-8 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; [4] that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honourable, [5] not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; [6] and that in this matter no-one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. [7] For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. [8] Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

There is a call to holiness that runs throughout the New Testament. It is clear from the Bible writers that what we do with our bodies matters, that there is no seperation between body and spirit. It is almost as if we are called, individually and as communities, to reflect the character of God to those areound us in all things - not just sexuality. We must mirror the character of God - being faithful, being pure and being loving all at once....
