Daily Fountain Devotional 18 August 2022 MESSAGE
Our reading today speaks about what must be done before God’s promises to receive and adopt us as his sons and daughters in 2 Cor. 6:14-18, will be fulfilled. Paul here calls the Corinthian Christians to sincerely purify themselves of wrong attitudes and teachings that have been allowed among them. They were to clean themselves by walking in the light where the blood of Jesus continually cleanses the faithful.
They were to perfect holiness in the complete fear of God. It means they were to pursue things that would make them holy, leading to a perfect and complete holiness in life. Presently, the world is full of dirt, both in flesh and in spirit, and Christians are not left out. Though we Christians are in the world full of unholy acts, God still expects us as church and individuals to be holy and even perfect that holiness through the grace bestowed upon us.
We should all be conscious of things that defile both the body and mind. Our understanding should be that we are not of the world but we belong to a holy and pure father. Therefore, if God will be our father, we are to live up to the standards placed before us which is to perfect the holiness in us.
Since complete and perfect holiness is embodied in Jesus Christ, we are then to thirst after him till He brings us to perfect completion before the father.
PRAYER: Father, give me your power and grace to live a life of holiness to the glory of your name through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
