I want to talk about the purity culture movement, some of the effects we’ve seen, and how I believe the Bible is calling us to move forward.
In some cases, it has even become the stumbling block that they have let come between them and Jesus completely. Misunderstood or mishandled purity culture has confused many as they chase after the cross. Unfortunately, like all aspects of life, humanity has not lived this out well, nor has the Church always taught this message holistically. Summarized, Biblical Sexual Purity is living a life of righteousness and obedience to God’s word in heart, mind, and body in relation to sex and our sexuality. When Christians seek out purity we should do so not in moralism or asceticism but rather as an act of obedience and worship to Christ. There are many passages on fleeing from sexual immorality Sex before marriage, same-sex intercourse, sex with someone other than your spouse, and so on. Sex and Sexuality as God intended is between one man and one woman within the covenant of marriage (Genesis 1:26-28, 2:22-24).
I believe that sexual purity is living rightly in heart, mind, and body to God's ordinances for sex and sexuality (Matthew 22:37 Hebrews 13:4,21:1 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).
