The Path Of Purity

How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.

I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees.

With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth.

I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.

I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.

I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.

Psalm 119:9-16

We all cherish letters from those we love and those who love us. That’s why there is so much encouragement in the fact that our heavenly Father has given us a letter called the Bible. The value of Scripture goes beyond its words of power, challenge, and wisdom. Amid all the stories, teaching, and guidance the Bible provides, the overriding idea is that God loves us and has planned our rescue. It tells us of His love in overseeing our existence, meeting our needs, comforting us, and saving us through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.

You are loved beyond imagination. God says so in His inspired and inspiring message to you.

The love of God for us is revealed in His letter to us – the Bible.
