Passage: 1 John 1:7b*

The blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Questions

1. What is the starting point for real purity?

 

2. How can someone remain pure?

 

Practical help

Jesus lived a truly pure life. He’s the only one. Our lives have been stained and contaminated by the sins we have committed, including our use of Web porn. By placing our trust in Him, through His shed blood, He purifies us from all sin — past and future. That’s liberating news for those of us who wrestle against the pull of smut.

So what does that mean for us in practical terms? It means that we don’t have to be held captive by past sins. It means that we have the opportunity to experience a new and fresh start right now with Jesus. Forgiveness is no longer the issue. The future is bright!

By His mercy He has purified us from all past and future sins. By His grace He helps us to abide in His purity right now. Go ahead and take action right now by doing three things:

  1. Rejoice in the truth that you have already been made clean from all sins!
  2. Turn your attention upon Jesus and thank Him.
  3. Resist the pull of porn by leaning on Jesus.
