Purity on the corrupt age. Living by Principle Not Inclination Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Psalm 24:3, 4 – {ML 72.1} The safeguards of our purity must be watchfulness and prayer. – {ML 72.2} We are living in an atmosphere of satanic witchery. The enemy will weave a spell of licentiousness around every soul that is not barricaded by the grace of Christ. Temptations will come; but if we watch against the enemy, and maintain the balance of self-control and purity, the seducing spirits will have no influence over us. Those who do nothing to encourage temptation will have strength to withstand it when it comes. – {ML 72.3} If they [the youth] do not willfully rush into danger, and needlessly place themselves in the way of temptation, if they shun evil influences and vicious society, and then are unavoidably compelled to be in dangerous company, they will have strength of character to stand for the right and to preserve principle, and come forth in the strength of God with their morals untainted. If youth who have been properly educated make God their trust, their moral powers will stand the most powerful test. – {ML 72.4} God’s elect must stand untainted amid the corruptions teeming around them in these last days.... The Spirit of God should have perfect control, influencing every action. – {ML 72.5} Those who enter upon active life with firm principles will be prepared to stand unsullied amid the moral pollutions of this corrupt age. – {ML 72.6} “Who, O Lord, shall stand when thou appearest?” Only those who have clean hands and a pure heart shall abide in the day of His coming.... As you hope to be finally exalted to join the society of sinless angels and to live in an atmosphere where there is not the least taint of sin, seek purity; for nothing else will abide the searching test of the day of God and be received into a pure and holy heaven. – {ML 72.7} Our world was so corrupt today. People are lovers of themselves and pleasure was their priority. Technology was booming and had sky rocketed on this last century and by this reason, people are becoming more greedy and selfish. As the bible says better a camel to enter on a needles eye than to a rich man enter the kingdom of heaven. Most of wealthy people now are considerably now greed. Because of what they have and will have and those who are below them are like a scalper looking and begging for a food. Despite of their lacking of basic needs, still they thank The Lord for they are blessed with a new day and hope and honestly most of us are like them. Despite of our difficultly, we still and will feel The Lord great mercy and blessing every day. Thank you Jesus. Amen
