Pure Hearts

November 18, 2013

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
–Philippians 2:5

It is impossible to live pure lives until we have pure hearts. Many people today are trying to put the cart before the horse. They are teaching purity of motives, desires, and actions to old, deceitful hearts! No wonder we have ended up such moral failures, in spite of our vaunted knowledge and psychological approaches.

Pure motives, desires, and actions stem from pure hearts. Pure hearts will be Christlike. It is God’s desire that we be conformed to the image of His Son. If Christ lives within us and our bodies become the abode of the Holy Spirit, is it any wonder that we should be like Him?

Prayer for the day

Cleanse my heart and make it the home of Your Spirit, Lord.

Immersing yourself daily in God's Holy Word is an excellent way to help maintain a pure heart and mind. Spiritual exercise is far more beneficial than physical. Thank you for the reminder, Billy.

The Holy Spirit, Almighty God, is not looking for a perfect vessel, He is looking for a yielded vessel. Thank you Rev. Billy Graham for the Manna from Heaven. I appreciate it very much. Praise the LORD.
