Sin is an impurity that keeps you away from God and His love.

Let's go deeper.

Many of us Christians are impure in our hearts and minds because we are not real with God-even though He already knows what we did in the past and what we are doing presently in His sight.

Sex, alcohol, drugs, and even pornography (which many Christians struggle with) are all forms of impurity in the body of Christ. We tend to cover it up and become pretenders- acting as if everything is good, thinking no one will know what was done last night, not even God.

But truth be told, God sees everything. He even saw you going out late at night after church to have sex, watching pornography while everyone else is sleeping, or stopping at the bar to drink beer and Heineken, leaving smelling like rum.

Then you wonder why you are stuck in a cycle and cannot be delivered. It is because you believe God does not see what you are doing, and you do not come to Him to confess your sins. Instead, you linger in them.

Ephesians 5:3 (NIV)

"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people."
