Why Your Purity is Not Your Identity (or a trophy)

[@vbarr7403]

Omg, this answered my prayers! I struggled with pornography for the past 7 years of my life, and about a year ago I gave my life to jesus. Since then I've prayed for my future husband because all I wanted since I was a little girl was to have a family, and find that person to share my life with but I always heard this little voice in my head saying no one will want me because of my struggles. This made me upset and angry with myself, to the point where I watched porn again, because I thought it was ok because no one wanted me anyway. I was so disappointed and disgusted with my self and I new what I did was wrong. I prayed for forgiveness, but ever since then i was still angry with myself. Then today, today seemed different. I went throughout my day and I just felt like God was tugging at my heart. I kinda ignored it at first, but then I opened KZbin and I saw this video. I immediately knew I had to watch it. As I watched I just felt all this anger go away and I knew this was from God. I finally feel like my chains are gone. So I want to thank you for listening to God because without this I would still have anger and sadness in my heart. God is good🙏

That's SO God. Amazing. He is working in you SO much!!!

This made me cry woth happiness! I soooo much love seeing Gof work! It always just... Tickles me pink to here another testimony about the Lord's workings! Hallelujah, sister! =)

[@angelaolin8698]

Wow! I can do relate to you! I did the same things and even got into masterbation. I totally felt unworthy and that since I was already "gone" I would just keep doing it. But then one day God opened up my eyes to His love and goodness. I am not saying I still don't struggle sometimes and fall, but I now know it doesn't matter because God is always there to pick me right back up and love me the same even as if I hadn't done anything wrong, He offers the same unconditional love to everyone!

[@EULA_INTROVERTED]

I pray you don't focus on holding yourself up just because you want to be accepted by people around you, but rather see how He loves you and how He accepts everything about you, and every flaws you have, and those are all that matter. I pray you realize how beautiful person and how worth loving you are, V Barr. Do not give up on yourself. ❤

[@caryssonford]

This is beautiful. Praise Him! ❤️

[@jessicahurtado8246]

Wow! Im proud of you for doing that. I came across your comment and you inspired me to keep waiting till marriage. I will definitely pray for you!

[@Ellieslife1998]

Praying that you don't fall into the worldly trap of what a "good man" is. The world goes against the heart of God in so many ways, especially with promoting things they claim will give you worth and make you satisfied. The world says, have sex, idolize, do drugs, drink, party, date around, strive to be wealthy, and stuff your heart with anything but what truly fills it. But those things? They don't actually truly satisfy and they ultimately leave you empty and stuck in an endless cycle of seeking more. Our hearts have a huge Jesus shaped hole that He alone can fill. In John 4:13, Jesus says that "everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." What He's saying is, only He can satisfy. Drinking of the world and trying to be quenched by it is only going to fail; but being filled by the Holy Spirit and life in Jesus leaves us satisfied to the core. Not that we won't struggle and our lives will be perfect, but that our hope will be in Him and He will carry us through. Sex was created by God to be a beautiful covenant, a coming together between husband and wife. In any other context, it breeds eternal misery. Trust that if you stick on the path of pursuing Jesus and surrounding yourself with like minded Godly men from a local church or ministry outlet, you will make it through this and won't fall into that false temptation.

I've had an extensive sexual and romantic history since I was 15 and many pregnancy, etc scares but I felt I got a final straw from God to turn away and begin again. Rededicated myself to purity on the 8th of this month (: No more until marriage. I'm 26. I love your channel, keep at it and speedy recovery girl!

You GO girl!!! I am SO happy for you. And extremely proud as well. God is big enough to give you the strength ans will power. It is Gods will for your to be sanctified(or pure). Seeking purity has really made me feel like I'm focused on what I need to be in life and it has really cleared my mind. There is just so many emotional rollercoasters when it comes to sex and God gives so much peace because he does have someone for you(but you only need God). You can do this Girl!!! 💖

[@DANIELLAMARY]

thank you for this. I am 23 and a virgin and I am proud of that however my friends are not and I needed a reminder to know that I am not better than them . This doesnt make me better. May God forgive me. Thank u

[@Ash_Queen16]

Very few people in the Christian KZbin community talks about this and this shouldn't be. Due to our sex obsessed culture it should be talked about a lot. I can relate to this because I'm no longer a virgin but this is helpful to remind me whenever I'm caught up in the "I'm worthless" lies. Thank you so much for talking about this!

I don't care what video you put up every single time I watch your videos you always put me in a good mood and you always encourage me to get back into growing my spiritual faith and my relationship with God. This past year I've been in such a bad place so, to see some people around me that are Christians in that are so big in their faith it just keeps encouraging me and pushing me to do better too. I love you so much, Becca. STAY. YOU. NO MATTER WHAT!

[@nataliebrown4253]

Wow.. I really needed this video. I'm 18 almost 19 and I got saved by God when I was 17. I lost my virginity when I was 16 and after I got saved I felt so ridiculously guilty. I cried myself to sleep so many nights thinking I was basically worthless marriage - wise. I felt so ashamed of myself and thought no one would ever want to marry me. I still feel upset about it sometimes because it's something I can't experience with my future husband but I understand that God forgave me and I'm a new person now. The old me is dead and the new me is very much alive. Thank you so much for this video

This is so good. -You are not damaged goods- A lot of people want to give up when they've made mistakes but God is the King of forgiveness. Stand up and start over💛

[@evelynnseaberg4240]

I really appreciated this video! I always find it interesting how many people refer to “saving themselves for their husbands.” I don’t think purity is about being a virgin for another sinner, I think it’s about following God’s commands while accepting his grace. My purpose for staying pure is because I want to be pure before Christ if I ever were to be married, not because my future spouse is deserving. I think the latter perspective leads us to believe that if we mess up once we won’t receive grace and should just continue living in sin which I don’t believe is true.

[@FarAwayDistance]

This is really good Evelynn!!! Thank you!

[@amberabbott7563]

I'd say it's both. But we're all different. I think as long as some one is born again, it doesn't matter. Being a virgin isn't what is important. Well, it is. But being born again and faithful to your husband or wife is what really matters.

[@lindstheteacher1611]

[@skylafick4408]

[@liamandres9859]

The fact that we've never really talked, and yet you speak exactly what I think is evidence in and of itself that the Holy Spirit lives in us. I haven't really been watching in awhile, but I've been reading the titles of your videos, and been praying for you with your Mono! I know from experuence how horrible that can be. I was lucky enough to have it happen on school break, and I don't have a job yet, so I was able to rest all day for the time I needed it. I can hardly imagine trying to keep up a job at the same time! But the fire and joy of yhe Spirit hasn't left you! Keep letting yohr light shine, sister! =)

I’ve been with my now fiance for 5 years, we started dating at 17.. we where so young... we have had a beautiful relationship and sex has been part of it... we are Cristians but in neather of our families purity was something practiced.. no one never talked us about it, we both thought that it was something that was done 50 years ago, just now recently i’ve found youtubers like you or Emily Wilson that talk about purity, and damm it has hit be hard! The truth is that i’ve never felt like me and my bf where doing something bad, we have experienced everything together and will as we are getting married, but this has opened my eyes! I really dont feel sorry for not saving sex for marriage because its been with the man of my life, i’ve been lucky! But you have made me seen purity from a new point of vew! Thank you so much❤️

[@transhumanismisdeath7382]

Your faith is a bright beacon! Can't have you struggling with your health. A quiet word, with Jesus, required. When I became a Christian, at 21 yo, I fully accepted myself; which was as a gamma/delta, straight male, with a reasonably efficient abacus, between my ears. A few years later, I decided that marriage & fatherhood was not for me, as I'd learned that the world hates Christians. After college, my journey went a bit "prodigal son" (Luke 15), as I was somewhat lost & directionless. What I since learned is that sin (damage) may always be forgiven (repaired/restored). For me, the key was not to let it either distance me from Christ Jesus, nor take control of me. It simply needs acknowledging. I chat to Jesus, as a friend, both thanking Him for all the good things in my life, & apologising for the sins I've committed. Last summer, while quietly talking to Jesus, I started to cry; something which I hadn't done for many years. I wasn't upset about anything and quickly realised that I was simply thankful for my faith. I had just sensed the full reality of eternal life.

[@Jangwoofilms]

So far my favorite video from you. I think it touches a very important chord and we often forget. One can be extra picky instead of embracing with Grace to those who don't wear a purity ring up their sleeve. God bless my sister!

[@SuperAmber1994]

Thank you for easing my mind regarding virginity, especially in my case, am virgin but sometimes I feel like I lost it half way if that makes any sense, because at some point in my life, I almost gave in; I came very close to losing it, and for so long I’ve been trapped in those feelings of impurity because even though I didn’t go all the way, I still felt like I gave a piece of me away and it’s so depressing!!! But when you remind me that when you believe in Jesus, the old is gone and the new is come.. that am a new creation in Christ, and that all my impurity was nailed at the cross, it brings me to peace, I feel a lot better !!! And I’ve learned not to compromise my purity because of the pattern of the world, I’ll stick to Jesus!! It’s upon me to try, and fight the good fight!!! But thank you so much for encouraging us through your videos and I pray that you feel better soon!!! God bless you!!! Plus, I always love your pretty sweaters!! ☺️

I just discovered your channel a week or so ago, and this is the third or fourth video I've watched....and wow....this is soooo good!!!! I am a virgin, and have plenty of friends who are as well, and plenty who are not. This message needs to be screamed from the rooftops of every church, because this is something so needed (and I think wanted as well). People need to hear that either way, it's OKAY. And like you said, regardless of our pasts, presents, and futures, our sins are CAST AWAY. No more! It's so good!!!! What an awesome God we serve, who, no matter what, extends us grace. And with that grace is our hearts, we are able to extend grace to others as well. So for the girls and boys who have not waited and are wondering if anyone will marry them because of that, I echo Becca by saying YES! Maybe some people will look down on you. But men and women who have truly accepted THEIR grace will also extend YOU grace.

[@Peter-GG]

Great thoughts. I think even the fact that in Christian culture the word "purity" has been made almost entirely about sex has encouraged this tendency to find one's identity in one's sexual history (or lack thereof). Scripture definitely includes a lot more under the word "pure" (James 1:27), and really, our "purity pledge" in this fuller sense is our baptism!

[@FarAwayDistance]

ABSOLUTELY!

Don't worry, it only took me since the last video to figure that out xD

[@lindsaymae]

Preach it, sister! As a "born-again" virgin who decided to dedicate my life to Jesus just a year ago, I sometimes feel like people around me think that my commitment to wait for marriage isnt as valid because I had sex before. And as someone who used to measure my life on my sexuality, I felt like I was damaged goods. Like my past defined me and whatever I did after didn't matter because I already had sex. All the love, and keep the good job! ❤️❤️

Thank you! This has helped me so much!

[@jfkkjfggf]

Although I’m a virgin (ie had no form of sexual relations with anyone) I would happily marry a lady who isn’t a virgin (as long as she’s truly repented). Non-virgins are not damaged goods no longer worthy of finding true love in marriage. There maybe scars from those previous sexual encounters, but God can bring healing and restoration.

This was very well put. I recently found your channel, and I am inspired by your passion for God and your willingness to be used by Him in order to speak truth in love. You have a very good balance of grace and truth, which is often hard to find. This video made me think of the song Mended by Matthew West.

[@ProEpicGuya76c007]

Assalam-o-Alikum sis... I am a Muslim and many of us don't feel pride but we get a sense of superiority like if we are virgin and the other one is not, we see it like he couldn't control his desire and his desires ate him up and indulged him into sex and it gives us a feeling that we have strong resistance against the desire, which makes us psychologically feel like we are better, and it's not a bad thing because we don't say it to the other guy on his face that 'i am better then you".

[@jacobonia]

Another point I'd like to add is that sometimes we desire to have sexual experiences because we think we need that in order to "understand" things about ourselves, or about life, or about other people. The reality is, we all have sexual experience, even if we've never seen or done or experimented with anything. We have sexual bodies. We have sexual brains. By the time you get into your mid-to-late twenties, everybody's on the same page--all the people who have never had sex; all the people who've had a new partner every couple of nights; all the people who've had a few, long-term, sexually active relationships. Everybody feels things. Everybody has times of not feeling much--sometimes when we wish we did. Everybody gets the gist of how it all works, because we have internal experiences that we're processing through on a subconscious level. It just happens. You don't live 25 or 30 years in a human body without figuring out what makes you tick! So don't buy into the idea that you have to experiment to "understand" sexuality. You understand just about as well as anybody else your age. The specifics of your internal experiences may be a little different from somebody else's--but not all that different. Not even all that different from a guy's! You're learning, you're growing, you're processing. Just enjoy the journey, and strive for trust in and obedience to Christ along the way! And give yourself grace when you fall short--because He certainly does!

Thank you for making this video! I’m 19 and I been single for a long time. I am choosing to wait to have sex till marriage. It’s been hard I’m not going to lie and I have made some mistakes and been in some toxic relationships. As a Christian woman it’s very hard not to fall into what society expects you to do and be. I am definitely ashamed of some things some choices and decisions I have made throughout my life but now over the last couple of months I’ve been working really really hard this year especially in 2019 I want to work really hard to be the Christian that I know that I need to be and to focus on myself and getting closer to God because I know that that Christian man and I’ve been wishing for for so long well not come to me and till God is ready to bring him to me and that something that I still am learning to lead to except . Because I’ve always had a hard time with thinking that you know why am I single and my not good enough to be somebody on my not worthy of love that’s really what I used to believe and think and I’ve always thought why is that Christian man not come to me yet do I not deserve him and I always put blame on myself but then I’d also be upset because I’m tired of being single and I would just settle for anyone but now at this point in my life I’m really working on trying to change that just to have complete faith in God and know that it will all come in his time . for me the purity ring is a symbol to remind me and any future boyfriends that I may have that I want to wait and I’m hopeful that if I ever thought about changing my mind I would look at my hand and see the ring and now I can’t do that because it’s not right.

This is deeply needed. In our culture, we try to position ourselves as better than each other. We flip the narrative: "I've experienced more, so I'm higher on the social ladder." "No, I've stayed pure, so that makes me better." Both of those things are lies, are self-focused. And all it does is hurt people. It makes people feel like they're damaged, or like they're not enough. And that is not true. God uses all of our unique journeys to bring us closer to Him. Thank you so much for fighting that lie and equalizing things. I hope everyone listens to this. As a man who loves Jesus, let me just affirm that I absolutely would not care what anyone's history was. All I would care about is that my future wife and I would process through things together and be able to have a joyful, innocent connection on our wedding night. You can heal from anything, I promise. You can heal from past experiences. You can heal from waiting. He makes all things new.

I know this is a late post in the video lol but i just felt i needed to share this part of my life. I have a really long sexual history. I grew up being taught that God existed and we should believe in him. I took that to heart but never understood why we should believe and never took it seriously. When it comes to sex, at first i wanted to wait until marriage but i got my first boyfriend as a senior in high school and well....we had sex. We ended up breaking up after a year of being together( but we're still good friends) and after that i felt empowered with having sex whenever and with whoever. And i was strategic about it. I picked older men because i felt older men didnt gossip and it wouldnt get out i was sleeping around. Then it turned into a porn addiction and sleeping with multiple men at a time. I went through a brief time of withholding from sex when i turned 20 for about 6 months and eventually gave into temptation. Mind you, i still wasnt serious about God. It was more of a challenge to myself to see how long i could withhold from sex. I felt so ashamed of myself afterwards but hid my shame by sleeping with more men. Then 2019 is when i started dating my current boyfriend. I was very honest with him from the start about my sexual history and he never shunned me. He admitted that it made him uncomfortable at times but more so because he was afraid of me giving into temptations of wanting to go back to my old sexual life. Mind you at this time i was still iffy about God and he is a questioning athiest (like he doesnt believe but admits he could be wrong and asks questions from time to time). We were also having sex almost everyday. Around 3 weeks ago i truly gave my life to God and i told him that morning about the amazing way God spoke to me and he was happy for me. But the first thing that popped in my mind was "what is he going to think of me not wanting to have sex anymore". I went to his house later that day and were cooking and i just kept trying to figure out how to bring up the sex topic. Without even saying anything about it he was like "wait...does that mean were not having sex anymore?" I was nervous about answering but i finally said it wouldn't feel right for me anymore. Instantly he was ok with it and said "im not with you for the sex. Im with you because I truly love you". YOU ARE NOT YOUR SEXUAL PAST! I even struggle with that shame still! But a real love will not care about your past.

Oh my! This is the Gospel. It’s level playing field at the Cross. Thank you for sharing. We are forgiven regardless and it’s this love, grace and the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit that helps us live right now. Bottom line: We trust Jesus to save us from sin and we trust Him to keep us from sinning. Thank you Jesus! :)
