Key Verse

“Having therefore this promises dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God” (2 Corinthians 7:1).

Text —2 Corinthians 7:1-3

Message

Paul by inspiration called believers at Corinth, “dearly beloved” of God. These brethren had supposedly come out of sin and the pollution of this world through individual encounter with Christ, the Saviour. When a person repents and believes in Jesus, such a one is transformed from being a sinner to becoming a Christian, dearly beloved of God. The dearly beloved of God has received grace to live a distinctive life due to his relationship with the Saviour, Jesus Christ. The Father has originally expressed His desire to “dwell in them and walk in them.” They are special vessels for God’s glory.

Some of the things that can cause filthiness in your life include deliberately fixing your eyes on objects of temptation, secretly keeping items that can inflame immoral thoughts, always desiring to stay at places that can cause temptation, and indulging in visiting immoral sites on the internet. But the blood of Jesus can cleanse you from all filthiness and make you whole. Plunge into the blood of Jesus now by faith and see His promise come true in your life.
