Relevant purity

LOUISE HAEUSER

What about purity? Does it have any relevance to us, to you and me, today?

Arguments for promiscuity proliferate in our world, suggesting that man is made subservient to materialism. In Christian Science we learn that God is the only cause, the only Father, the only creator. Because man is God's likeness, he can possess only Godlike qualities and so must be only spiritual. Man's complete God-likeness constitutes his purity.

Purity is an absence of adulteration or admixture. Where a promiscuous, prodigal, dishonest, or adulterous person seems very much to be, we need to acknowledge the complete idea of God, free from anything unlike God, and lacking no needful thing.
