Purity rings were all the rage when I was in my teen years, but since then some major controversies have come up amongst Christians.
Some are for purity rings and others aren’t big fans.




The biggest question that comes up is this: Should Christian girls (and guys) even bother to wear “purity” rings at all?



Where did purity rings come from?
Purity rings hit America during the 1990’s and quickly became all the rage amongst Christians. Youth groups and teen ministries waved the “true love waits” banner and focused a lot of their attention on teaching abstinence.






Dads and moms suddenly began taking their daughters (and some sons) out to dinner and placing a ring on her finger and encouraging her to commit to saving sex for marriage.




Parents and churches were left scratching their heads at why the purity rings didn’t seem to be working. As a result, a lot of Christian parents and churches decided that purity rings were a thing of the past and weren’t worth their time anymore.







For some Christian girls it seemed to be working and for others it didn’t.




Why was this happening?
It was happening (and still happens) because some churches and parents viewed the purity ring like a “magic ring” that would somehow protect their daughter’s virginity.





The truth is, being pure has nothing to do with your ring and everything to do with your heart.





Whether you decide to wear a purity ring or not is completely up to you; but before you decide whether you hate the idea or love it, just make sure you have the right understanding of it.





. Purity rings have to be so much more than saving sex for marriage. Anyone can choose to remain abstinent; but for Christians, there needs to be a much bigger vision than that.





If a Christian girl wears a purity ring but messes around sexually without ever going all the way…is she remaining pure? Not at all.



If a girl views her purity ring as her ticket to looking “holy,” but is filling her heart and mind with lustful thoughts and pornographic images, is she remaining pure? Not at all.





Some girls view the purity ring as a cool and godly thing to wear, but then don’t take their commitment to be “pure” seriously at all.





Being pure isn’t a choice you make once for your whole life – it’s a choice you have to make on a daily, sometimes hourly basis.





The purpose for the purity ring can’t be about
looking pure…it has to be about being pure. It needs to stem from a heart that desires to honor and obey God in every area of life.




Purity has to start in the small areas. The girl who wears the ring should work hard at keeping her mind and heart pure.





Saving sex for marriage should be the outpouring of everything else the girl is doing to stay pure in her life.



.
The way you treat your purity is a direct display of your personal relationship with God and your respect of Him.



With all that being said, should Christian girls wear purity rings?


Do you view purity rings as a symbol of chastity, or a symbol of total purity?

This is not the right section for this thread o

do u know some people can wear it and still bang behinde close door.?

so it doesn't proclaim d aim

I see it as a means of announcing your virginity to the world, which would attract both the good, bad and the ugly.
