Purity towards Christ

Is  it  important  to  stay  pure  towards  Christ?  If  so,  why  is  it  important?  The  Bible  refers  to  the  church  as  Christ's  bride.  Just  as  it  is  important  to  stay  pure  towards  your  husband  it  is  even  more  important  to  stay  pure  towards  Christ  because  He  is  our  spiritual  husband.   Staying  pure  towards  Christ  means  to  not  go  after  the things  of  this  world,  follow  false  teachings, and   worship  other   gods,  but   to  stay  in  His  word  and  do  what  it  says.  Philippians  1:27  says,  "Whatever  happens,  conduct  yourselves  in  a  manner  worthy  of  the  gospel  of  Christ."  So,  let's  conduct  ourselves  in  that  manner  while  staying  pure  for  our  Lord  and Savior,  Jesus  Christ.
