![]() Sometimes a purity ring is worn for all the wrong purposes. It should be a symbol to yourself rather than the people around you.” I feel as though it gives the Christian community an opportunity to roll their eyes at those who wear it to show off. “I believe that wearing a purity ring is a huge statement to make, but it has a negative connotation overall. Men need to remember to know their limits and those they decide to pursue. Temptation is very prominent in today’s society and having a ring is a way to display their resistance.”īecause the world has come to accepting sexual behavior before marriage it has become difficult to know where a young woman's heart is when going into relationships. Not every young woman wears it for the right purpose and this causes me to not know those who are true and those who are fake. It is a bold action to make seeing how those around you can judge you. I think it is a great idea for dating as it gives me a mentality of where the girls’ heart is. “The representation of a purity ring is a statement that you are to stay sexually pure. The world would be a better place if there were more men striving to have high character. A purity ring is a small, yet significant, representation of our unique identity in Christ.”įor guys, I think it is important to remember the standard that God has called you to be.

If you made the choice to participate in these acts, why would you publically display a different choice? Something to think about. Basically what she is saying is that once you’ve broken that promise, there is no point in wearing it. Not that God can’t purify you, but rather as an incentive to stay pure.” “I see purity rings as a promise to God and yourself to abstain from what makes you impure. To use a purity ring as a symbol of a promise to Him is fine, but to say that if you break that promise you are impure is completely missing the point.” You are pure because of God, and so long as He is a part of you, you cannot become otherwise. Virginity is not what keeps you pure and you are not impure because you have had sex. I don’t believe that sex makes someone impure through God, there is no impurity. “If you wear a purity ring to symbolize that you are ‘pure’, meaning a virgin, then you are misunderstanding the concept of it in its entirety. That’s why when we talk about why people wear this ring there is not one definition. If he is so powerful and can do all things, why would purity not count?”Ī huge conversation was brought up about what the definition of purity even means. Even though I’ve made mistakes doesn’t mean that I can’t be pure. “To me it is a constant reminder that God re-purifies us everyday. ![]() It isn’t meant for someone else’s approval.

I had three different girls tell me the same thing. It is something I take pride in and excites me for what the future has for me. To this day, I yearn for nothing more than to keep this promise and give this ring to my husband to physically state how I waited for him. Yes, I wear a ring as a public reminder, but if I were to take it off that does not mean all my morals go away as well. The ring is a public statement that you made a pact with God and a promise to follow his want for you, but wearing a ring is not completely necessary. In the Bible it states nothing about a purity ring, but it does mention how important it is to be pure prior to marriage. I also realized that this was a sign of trust and respect towards my parents. I am a lovable young woman, not an object. ![]() ![]() I was wearing it as a constant reminder of how precious and special I am. It took me awhile to figure out why I was really wearing it, but after discussing it with my parents and speaking to God about it, I realized its purpose for me.
