Have you ever noticed that “pure” bottled water isn’t? It often has stuff added to it “for taste”! I’m sure those things are harmless and natural, but it’s amazing that we’ve gotten so used to water with stuff in it that it tastes completely normal. Totally pure water would probably taste strange. I wonder if spiritually we’ve gotten used to the “taste” of some things that aren’t pure either!
Psalms 119:1 says, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.” Undefiled means pure. Sin will ruin the purity of a dating relationship, marriage, heart, mind, business, and anything else where it’s allowed in. And sin plus purity always equals sin unless we let Jesus erase our sin and make us 100% pure.
I genuinely hope He has washed away all of your sin, and, if He has, we should want to live out pure, unpolluted Christianity every day. James 1:27 says, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” If Jesus’ love, mercy, grace, and purity are in our lives, let’s let those be what’s coming out of our lives as well. Let’s make sure Godly purity is the normal way for us to live and that anything else just doesn’t “taste right” to us.
