Cleanse your heart of evil, Jerusalem, that you may be saved. How long will you entertain your destructive ideas? ~ Jeremiah 4:14 (CEB)
So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. ~ James 1:21 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
If we are going to experience the benefits of God's salvation we need to get rid of the things which are contrary to him and his ways.PRAYER:
Lord, I am grateful for the way that you save us. The salvation of Christ is the most glorious gift. But I realize that I am not fully experiencing what you give. There are things in my life that get in the way of having a fuller experience with you. And I know that I cannot get rid of them on my own. So I am looking to you to clean my house. And I am trusting that you will put things in order so that my life is consistent with you and your ways. Amen.
