Sexual purity is a topic often misunderstood, yet it’s central to God’s design for us. Dr. John Neufeld delves into Ephesians 5:1-7, where Paul calls Christians to live in purity, reflecting God’s holiness. Drawing a comparison between sex and fire, Dr. Neufeld emphasizes how God's gift of sex, when misused, can lead to destruction. He explores the importance of guarding our hearts and speech, and how Christians are called to imitate God, not the culture. As Paul warns, a life of purity is crucial for living as God’s people.Empowered Living Volume 3: Ephesians 5 begins with a word that invites us to look back. It is the word, “Therefore”.
