The 'Job 31' Man: Being a Man of Integrity in a Sinful WorldPrøve

### Purity Job had a keen sense of justice. He knew that if he chased other women, he would deserve it if his wife would be unfaithful to him. I'm sure he knew that two wrongs wouldn't have made a right, but once again, we reap what we sow. If we sow bad thoughts and actions, there are going to be bad outcomes. 'As a man thinks, so he is'. Thoughts lead to actions, actions lead to habits, habits form character, and our characters reap our destinies, for better or worse. In case we're starting to despair, we can be encouraged that God can miraculously turn our lives and destinies around. We who were destined for hell can be diverted by God to eternal life. Job's judgmental and unhelpful friends received his intercession, and a sacrifice was made. Ultimately, Jesus is our intercessor who sacrificed Himself for us. Job knew that adultery is a deadly sin. What the world winks at, God hates, and hell is full of adulterers. Thankfully, heaven is full of repentant adulterers. King David is one such example, an adulterer and murderer who found mercy and grace from our loving God. As long as we're alive, there's hope for forgiveness from God. 'Father God, may You forgive our lustful thoughts and intentions. May the blood of Jesus cleanse us from all sin, and Your Spirit transform us that we would grasp purity of heart for Your glory, amen'
