Today's Devotion:

365 Daily Devotions: Seminary Edition



💁🏻 Concept: Purity of the Church
The purity of the Church is not merely about external order but about the inward holiness of its people. Sanctification is God’s work of making His people more like Christ, cleansing them from sin and setting them apart for His purposes. The Church remains pure when its members continually grow in holiness through the Spirit’s power, rejecting sin and pursuing righteousness. This purity is both a gift of grace and a daily responsibility of every believer.

Lord Jesus, thank You for loving the Church and giving Yourself to make her holy. I confess that I often fall short of Your standard of purity.

Fill me with Your Spirit, that I may reflect Your holiness in my thoughts, words, and actions. I surrender my life to You. Use me for Your glory and honor. That in all things God may be glorified. Amen.
