Put on Purity

Series: BeReal.

Summary

God-like purity is seen through the way we use words (Ephesians 4:29). The Bible is clear: God is holy and is like no other. In particular, God is like no other in purity. Putting off the old self and putting on the new self (Ephesians 4:22-24) means becoming like God in purity. Such purity is intimately connected with our words because what we speak reveals what is truly in our hearts (Matthew 12:33-34). Words are undeniably powerful, not just in what we say but in how we say it. When it comes to our words and becoming like God, we must ask ourselves some critical questions: am I being truthful, am I being helpful, am I angry, and am I building others up?
