Keep Yourself Pure

1 Tim. 5:17-25

The epistle of 1 Timothy was written to Timothy – the Pastor of the church. The instructions are however not for ministers only but for all believers. There are people within the congregation who live double lives – public life of apparent holiness, but secret life of sin. When exposed, such people seek for sympathisers so that they are not shamed. Those who endorse their lifestyle become partakers in their sin. Any heaven bound Christian will be careful not to give support to sin. The church is not a place for politics where one would support another person blindly. The Christian needs to keep himself pure, and not to be a partaker of someone else’s sin. There are people who appear pure, but whose sin will be revealed at the throne of judgment.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: Do not share in other people’s sin, keep yourself pure.

PRAYER POINT: I refuse to share in other people’s sin; I receive wisdom to keep

myself pure.
