noteworthy thought

"ultimate purity is a positive state, not a negative state. it is a matter of presence rather than of absence. the immediate presence of God transcends the intermediateness of the temple. in that sence, even the body will one day be shed because God will be all in all. in anticipation of that day, let the temple of the body be pure so that it points beyond itself to the very presence of God..." -ravi zacharias

"beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. and everyone who has this hope in Him purifies Himself, just as He pure." -1 john 3:2-3
