Moral purity is a very big deal to God. Everything that is important to God the devil attacks and works at making it unimportant to the world. He has been very successful in making moral purity a joke in our culture. Another thing that the devil has successfully removed out of our thinking is the “fear of the Lord”. I am asked all the time what the “fear of the Lord ” is, and my response is ” recognizing that the title of God, “God is judge” is just as important as “God is love”. Hebrews 10:10 says, “the Lord will judge his people, it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God”. Ephesians 5:5 says ” this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person has an inheritance in the Kingdom of God”. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to get to the end of your life and hear God say, “depart from Me, you workers of iniquity, I never knew you”. Hebrews 10:29 says, “How much severe punishment do,you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified , and has insulted the spirit of grace”. To insult the spirit of grace is to think that we can live how we want because God is a God of love and will wink at our immorality.
