The Point of Purity Podcast

From the very beginning, God's desire for us has always been deeply relational. He didn't create humanity simply so that we would follow a list of rules, perform certain religious duties, or acknowledge His existence from a distance. He created us to know Him. To walk with Him. To enjoy Him. To trust Him. To worship Him. And ultimately...to love Him. You see this beautifully in the opening chapters of Genesis.

In this episode we continue our look at what it means to F.E.A.R. God. God isn't asking for selective obedience.
