There is nothing worth living for unless it is worth dying for.

My grandmother lived a life devoted to Jesus, and today her talks have been made available

in their original form.

So you too can be built up through the insights and mysteries God revealed to her throughout

her ministry.

Now without further ado, here is Elizabeth Elliott.

The question in the title of today's talk is, is chastity possible?

Well, let me ask you a question.

Is chastity optional for a Christian?

Well, you know the answer to that question.

It most certainly is not optional.

So if you know that chastity is not an option, it is a command, then you know the answer

to the question of the title.

It is possible because it is always possible to do the will of God.

Don't ever forget that.

Chastity has ever failed to do the will of God because of lack of strength, lack of health,

lack of time, or any other lack, except the will to do it.

God has created us with the freedom to choose to love Him.

And if we will to do His will, then God supplies the grace and the strength and the time

and everything else that is necessary.

So because we know that chastity is the will of God, we know that it is possible.

The question is, do you want to be holy?
