Dear Liz,

Is it possible to be pure again in God’s eyes? Yes! A thousand times YES!!! If it weren’t possible than you would be a lost sinner with no hope of salvation. If God were still holding your past sin against you, than that means that you were not fully forgiven.

“If any man be in Christ he is a NEW creation, THE OLD HAS PASSED AWAY, behold the new has come.” 2 Cor 5:17

“As far as the east is from the west so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12

“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD, though your sins be like scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they be red as crimsion they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18

“For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others.” 2 Cor 5:19

“Oh, what joy for those whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those WHOSE RECORD THE LORD HAS CLEARED OF SIN, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!” Psalm 32:1-2

“My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if you do sin, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who pleases God completely. His is the sacrifice for our sins. He takes away not only our sins but the sins of all the world.” 1 John 2:1-2

“If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.” 1 John 1:8-9

“For all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done his through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins.” Romans 3:23-24

There are so many other verses that I could share but I’m out of time right now. Liz, I think you are feeling like a second class Christian right now. That’s not how it works in God’s kingdom. If you have repented and come to the Lord since that sinful relationship, if you are trusting Jesus to forgive you then YOU ARE FORGIVEN!!! I can’t remember the verse right now but I seem to remember a passage in the OT that says that the Lord IS our righteousness. Do some digging in the scriptures about forgiveness and salvation. Your question is the very essence of the gospel “I have sinned, how can I make it right with God?” Let me tell you Liz, if you are truly saved then you are pure in God’s eyes. When God sees you he sees perfection, righteousness and purity. How can this be? Because when God looks at you he sees Jesus. You see Jesus took your record and replaced it with His. That is the salvation message. “There is now, then no condemnation for those who are in Christ”
This article at the NGJ website really helped me work through so much of the guilt I was holding onto even though I was saved.

I hope you read it and God uses it to set you free like he did me. Also, consider doing a study of Romans.

As for a purity ring, I think it just might be a great outward symbol of your faith that God has made you pure through His son Jesus. You can’t change the past but God is giving you a new begining. “His mercies are fresh each day”

I hope this helps you dear Liz. May God bless you!

Hi Liz!
You should start to think about your future, not your past. Think about the forgiveness given to you because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross. He has replaced our impurity with His righteousness.
Once you understand your forgiveness in Christ, you will be able to think and act like a pure woman, and your future husband will be able to see you as so. 🙂
I will be praying for you darling! xxx~Kelsey

These videos were really intersesting and might help you. These two people weren’t pure before but now they are through God’s life.
