(2 Tim 2:19 NKJV) Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
As I sat here today, searching for a topic for the Bible Verse of The Day, I wanted to do a message that was positive, encouraging and uplifting. We know that many people are going through tough times right now and there seem to be battles on every front.
But no matter where I looked, I kept seeing the same theme and the same message, over and over again. And it was not something that most people would consider to be “uplifting”, in the natural sense of the word.
What I kept seeing was this: Let the body of Christ depart from her sinful ways… let her keep herself pure.
So I gave in and submitted to God to share this with you today.
We are His bride. We belong to Him. He desires for us to be pure… removed from iniquity in our lives. This might not seem like a very encouraging word at first. It might seem heavy or condemning. But it’s truly not either of those things.
God wants the very best for us! Now that is encouraging. He wants our lives to be the very best they can be and that is not possible when they are full of sin, the very thing that separates us from Him.
Be encouraged today… encouraged in the fact that God loves enough to tell us what’s right for us and what’s not.
So let’s examine our lives, sincerely and honestly, and let God show us those things that He wants removed. Then we can move forward knowing that we are pleasing Him in every possible way.
