In Proverbs, chapter thirty, verse five, “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” Second Timothy three, verse sixteen declares, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” The purity of God’s word corrects, reproves, and instructs all believers who spend time reading, meditating, and praying over the scriptures they read, to purify. John one, verse one, is also connected with today’s scripture, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
If the word of God is pure as the theme title, then why aren’t there many reading it faithfully? The first reason is the heart. This is where the emotions of a human being rest. Their feelings, and what they love. Solomon, the wisest man, loved many strange women; look what happened to him. The second one is the mind. What is our focus on today? A mind is like a screen. What comes to our thoughts through our senses generates our attention and causes us to live accordingly. Eve received the word from God with Adam, and look what happened, as defined in Second Corinthians eleven, verse three, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
For believers, “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would,” as in Galatians five, verses sixteen to seventeen.
