The Psalmist in Psalm 119 v 9 writes,'How can a young person stay on the path of purity? now that's a very good question.Looking back on my youth I was a bit out of control,but I wasn't going on with Lord then, yet I beleve God in His mercy held me back from certain things.The young people of the day face a lot things ,thing like drugs,sexual immorality,they have a lot of freedom,the sort of fredom that can lead them into trouble.Knife crime is prevalient among young people,many of them live in fear and so one could go on.The Christian young person has a graeat advantage,as to living a life of purity or as the Message puts it,'a clean life', here is the answer,'By living according to your word'.Many drivers get into trouble by not sticking to the highway code,or whatever rules in different countries.So the young Christians should follow what the word of God says about sex, in Hebrews 13 v 4 ,' we read 'Marriage is honorable',sleeping around is not honorable,Aids still affects many countries,venereal disease is very prevalent,unwelcome pregnanices are very common these day,if we put sex within marriage you rule out all those things. Remember sex outside of marriage is a sin, read 1Thessalonians 4 v 3- 5.
