Purity and Self-control
Charisma and CharacterSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the concepts of purity and self-control in his lecture. He first explores the biblical understanding of purity, which relates to moral defilement rather than simply avoiding physical contamination. He emphasizes that self-discipline is required to cultivate fruit of the spirit and avoid moral defilement. Ultimately, maintaining personal purity is necessary for Christians to achieve their highest goal of loving with a pure heart and becoming an undefiled bride for Christ.
