“The Dirty Plates”
Friday, May 30, 2025Key Verse
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?” 1 Corinthians 6:9a
Text — 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Message
No one likes to eat from a dirty plate; it will be quite an irritating experience. Once plates become dirty, they are no longer fit for service. They have to get cleaned up with the aid of soap and water before they can be used to serve people.
Have you ever imagined how children expect God “who is of purer eyes than to behold evil,” to accept and use them despite their uncleanness? If you cannot eat from a dirty plate, then don’t expect God to take you to Himself with your sins.
There is a fountain flowing for the soul through which you can be cleansed today. You need to know that you were born in sin and you have no power to save yourself. Confess your sins to Christ and ask Him to cleanse your heart. Ask Him to come and give you a new life. Accept His salvation and continue to serve Him till He comes.
