Sexual purity means complete abstinence from sexual sins such as fornication, pornography, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, masturbation, et cetera.

However, sexual purity is not just about avoiding sexual habits; it entails choosing to live in a way that honours God and reflects His character.

In a world that often promotes sexual activities, it is important to stand firm in your commitment to honouring God with your life.

God expects you to be holy, as you read in today’s Bible reading.

Having premarital sex or engaging in any sexual activity before marriage is a sin against God and your body, and the Bible says that God Himself will judge those who engage in sexual sins (1 Corinthians 3:17).

God’s plan for sex is for it to be a beautiful and intimate expression of love between a husband and his wife within the confines of marriage.

Anything outside of this is a violation of God’s design and can cause harm to the violators. I want you to know that you can be pure.

To be pure, study God’s word and flee every form of sexual impurity.

Also, do not think immoral thoughts or engage in immoral conversations.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 2 SEPTEMBER 2024 HYMN 7

I AM THINE O LORD.

1.I am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
