Celibacy, Chastity and Purity

February 18, 1981

Rolling Hills Covenant Church

This is session #6 of an 11-part series called “The Disciple, the Disciplines and the Triumphant Life.”

Clarification of Terms:

Celibacy, chastity, and purity are three dimensions of the same topic.

Celibacy is the choice of a single life; the choice of a state without sexual relationships.

Chastity refers to restraining oneself within the bounds of proper sexual relations; mainly referring to external behavior.

Purity refers to the insides of the soul; not only to external behavior but also to the condition of the heart.
