"I've already messed up with porn or sexual sin. No good Christian girl will want me now."
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
-- 1 John 1:9Religion teaching that sexual sin creates permanent stain and disqualification instead of preaching the finished work of the cross.
Purity culture messages say you're giving away pieces of your heart. You feel dirty, disqualified, and like damaged goods. You assume any future wife will reject you if she knew.
Rahab was a PROSTITUTE—her entire occupation was sexual sin. She believed God, and He not only saved her but put her in the MESSIANIC LINE. She married Salmon and became the great-great-grandmother of King David. Jesus came through a former prostitute's bloodline.
I REFUSE the lie that my past disqualifies my future. IT IS WRITTEN: He is faithful to FORGIVE and CLEANSE from ALL unrighteousness. I am not damaged goods. I am CLEANSED by the blood of Jesus. IT IS WRITTEN: there is therefore NOW no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. The BARAK that put a prostitute in the messianic line is ON ME. My past does not define me. Christ's righteousness DOES. I am pure, clean, and qualified NOW.
Your Father doesn't look at your search history and recoil. He looks at the CROSS and sees you CLEAN. He's not withholding a good wife until you prove yourself. He's running toward you with the robe of righteousness, declaring you PURE because of Jesus, not because of your performance.
