When it comes to our food and beverages, we are all in favor of purity. But when it comes to our own lives, we give ourselves a fair amount of latitude (“after all, we’re only human”). Our idea of purity is a far cry from God’s definition. God is holy and wants to see us grow in holiness. His plan to impact and reach the world with his love will be built on this group of people; so they need to grow in holiness. As do we.
Scripture: Exodus 19-20
