Psalm 119:9 says, “How can a young person keep their life pure? By living according to your word.” This is an extremely important starting point. God has given us His word and in it we learn what it means to live God’s way. But the Bible is not just an ancient book of moral wisdom or a code of conduct to live by. Hebrews says, “The word of God is alive and active. It is sharper than any sword that has two edges. It cuts deep enough to separate soul from spirit. It can separate bones from joints. It judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart. Nothing God created is hidden from him. His eyes see everything. He will hold us responsible for everything we do.”
