Actually, I always loved going to purity conferences. I went to so many between jr. high and high school. I read every single purity/dating book that was ever printed in those years and I followed everything they ever said to do. I signed a commitment card, I wore a purity ring, I wrote out a list of qualities that I wanted in my future husband, I never dated, I drew the line of how far was too far, and I did many other things. But what I found out is that all those things can be good, but those are not what makes you pure. Wearing a purity ring doesn't magically make you pure.
Purity is the by-product of a right relationship with Christ.
Only by Christ's grace an power are we able to live a life of purity. So, I just hate how purity is explained by works. Purity isn't something that we have to work for or check off the steps to attaining purity. We just need to sit at the feet of Jesus and allow Him to work in our lives. He sees us as pure when His blood washes us clean. We need to follow Him!
