    We live in a world that does not value purity, for the Christian, we need all help we can get to maintain a semblance of purity. Psalm 119:9-16 offers us some help if we are committed enough to follow the principles.

    In this passage (vv. 16-21) Paul summarizes the motive of the whole Christian life. Christ died for all and the old self of the Christian died in that death. He arose a new man. In this newness of life he has acquired a new set of standards. He no longer

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In verses 14 and 15 Paul comes to two conclusions: 1. The total depravity of man (v.14). If Christ died for all, then all must be dead in trespasses and sin. 2. God’s purpose for saving us (v. 15). He died that we might live through Him and for Him, and one day with ...read more
