To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
When we decide to believe in Christ, our minds need to be renewed. (Romans 12:1-2) As this transformation is happening, we are susceptible to stumble – as is any unbeliever because our “minds and consciences are corrupted”. (NIV) We are transforming, but not transformed. As we are purified (one of the aspects of transformation) those who are purified need to take care in their actions around us. Some things they would do or say are perfectly fine for them, but may cause us to stumble in our transformation (purification). As we grow in Christ, we must take on this responsibility as well.
