Statistics
show us that more than half of all high school students have had physical relations
at some point during high school. Although
physical relationships are approved by God, they are not approved when they are
not done according to His Word. In this
article, I will be discussing a few things that we can do
to keep our bodies pure and preserved for marriage.

Keeping
a clean mind and heart
2
Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us
the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
The
Bible tells us that we need to have our thoughts in check. God knows what we think. In Philippians 4:8 we find that we should
dwell on the pure things. Often the
words that we say indicate what the inside of our heart is like. By keeping our thoughts and heart clean, we
can be ideal Christian examples and show others who lives in us.
22.
Being
modest
1
Timothy 2:9 “In like manner also, that
women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not
with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;”
In
this passage, the Scriptures say that we should dress accordingly. Dressing correctly is not only safe, but it
indicates to others that we are Christians and that we hold ourselves to God’s
standard. Some Christians who live by
these standards are often mocked, but they are just living what they believe to
be true according to God’s Word.

Having
a walk with Christ
Galatians
5:16 “[This]
I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
Having
a personal relationship with God is vital to keeping your purity. In Proverbs 22:3, we see that a prudent man
sees the evil before it comes, and separates himself from that evil. Being where you’re supposed to be, and
knowing when to draw the line and say “no” when a situation arises can help
make your relationship with God stronger. Having a relationship with God does
not usually come easy. It is something
that you must strive to have. For this
reason, it is important to know what you believe and why you choose to believe
it.
