Bible Verses:
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you isholy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:14-16
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Hebrews 12:13
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8
Devotion:
A topic that has been on my mind lately is that of purity and of holiness. The Lord has been teaching me that in order for us to come in to His presence we need to be living a life of purity, and striving to be perfect as He is. I know that none of us are perfect, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be seeking to live a life free from sin and that pleases God. We can not keep willfully sinning just because we know that God is going to forgive us. If we are saved then we need to turn from our sin and turn from the things that we know displease our Heavenly Father. Perhaps there are things in your life that you know are not honoring God, but you are still continuing to do them, those things will block your relationship with God. Only the pure in heart shall see God (Matthew 5:8). We can not be pure in our own works and on our own, but we are made righteous and pure when we have the Holy Spirit living in us and having accepted Christ in to our lives. Today let us examine our lives and remove what is hindering our relationship with God, and get back to living a life of purity and holiness! HE will be pleased when we do so.
Blessings to you,
