Living Pure.

Purity
What is it?
Purity is a commitment to God to honor him with your body and follow his standards.
1 Timothy 4:12
"Don't let anyone make fun of you, just because you are young. Set an example for other followers by what you say and do, as well as by your love, faith, and purity."
As a Christian living pure can be challenging. Especially in today's world. We're surrounded by things that may tempt us everyday. But it is our job as a Christian not to entertain those thoughts. We sometimes want please our flesh by doing things that are not of God. One thing that Christians may struggle with is sexual immortality. 
We as Christians may fall into temptation. As Christians it is our job to set boundaries and not put yourself in position where you may be tempted. Everyone's boundaries may be different.  For instance you may not be able to lay in a bed and cuddle  with someone of the opposite sex because you might get tempted.  Boundaries are important in a relationship. Another thing we may struggle with is being made fun of or not cool because you're saving yourself for marriage.
The bible says ; "Don't let anyone make fun of you, just because you are young. Set an example for other followers by what you say and do, as well as by your love, faith, and purity." 1 Timothy 4:12. This means that you should not let anyone make fun of it joke about the way you choose to live. Be an example for them by the way you walk and talk and through your faith love and purity. Let others see Christ through you. Let them see that it is okay to live like Christ. That they can do it too.
