Hello again sister saints!
I hope you are strong in the faith today and joyous in the Lord!
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.Philippians 4:4
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.Psalm 32:11
He is good to rejoice in for He has done wonderful things whereof we are glad! What a precious gift of love He sent us in Christ our Saviour! We do not deserve such grace and mercy but let us serve Him with grateful hearts like the one healed leper that returned to Jesus!
We know the great gap that is between God and man and when you realize how short we fall in our human nature unredeemed, you see His great goodness in His forgiveness more clearly.
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.Luke 7:47
It's good to think on pure things in such a world as this. I'm sharing some scriptures on it here!
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.Psalm 24:3-5
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Philippians 4:8
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.
1 Timothy 1:5
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1 Timothy 3:9
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
1 Timothy 5:22
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy 2:22
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:17
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.
1 Peter 1:22
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 3:3
Yes let us purge out that which is evil and be holy as He is holy as we have been called to be. No this is not self-righteousness but just our duty and service to obey our Master, and nothing to be thanked for as this parable speaks of.
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
Luke 17:7-10
This is good too...
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Romans 12:1-3
So strive on in the faith and obedience to our Lord, sisters! Love to you in His name.
