Chances are you’ve had some sort of purity talk with your girl. But does she understand that beyond God’s design for intimacy, Christians are instructed to live purely in all areas of life—our work, our thoughts, and our actions?

Psalm 119 instructs us: “How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart…I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”

In order to be diligent in maintaining a pure heart and mind, we must first understand what it means to be wholly pure. Hiding Scripture away in her heart will create a sort of litmus test for her actions well into adulthood.
