called to be pure not innocent.

So as I was reading today & I came across this quote, it hit straight to the heart. This quote has summed up my thoughts that I have been having for the past month. it's incredible. So i thought I would share:

"Jesus Christ never trusted human nature, yet He was never cynical, never suspicious, because He trusted absolutely in what He could do for human nature. The pure man or woman, not the innocent, is the safeguarded man or woman. You are never safe with an innocent man or woman. Men and women have no business to be innocent; God demands that they be pure and virtuous. Innocence is the characteristic of a child; it is a blameworthy thing for a man or woman not to be reconciled to the fact of sin." -Oswald Chambers
