Moral Excellence ~ Part Three

The Greek word for fornications is porneia. Habakkuk1:13 says of the Lord, “You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness…” I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit to check you next time you pick up a book to read, start to watch a movie, or read something online.

1 Thessalonians 4:7-8 says, “For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.” 1 Peter 1:15 says, “…be holy in all your conduct.”

Character that exemplifies the Lord is evident behind closed doors as well as in the open. The message and the messenger are the same. Moral excellence starts in the heart with our thoughts. 

Titus 1:15 says, “To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.”
