TOPIC: Living a Life of Purity
Fire Scripture

Memory Verse

Outline
One major condition to access God is purity of heart (Psalm 24:4a). Purity means condition or quality of being pure, freedom from anything that defiles, contaminates or pollutes. For a Christian, the life of purity means a life that is free from contamination of the world, life free from condemnation or guilt, life free from sin.
Purity has to do with what you choose in every part of your life. It means choosing to please God than anything or anyone else. Learning from the text above, Paul issued to Timothy (and by implication you and me) a great reminder to set an example in all he did and said and how he did them by the help of the Holy Spirit.
God has called you and me to set good and godly examples in all areas of our lives. You are called to set example in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith and purity. Purity inside out, purity in behaviour (1Timothy 5:2) and in spirituality (1Timothy 5:22) are all required of you as a believer.
This type of purity can only be achieved through the purifying blood of Jesus and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. To live the life of purity, you must be born again, be filled with power of the Holy Spirit, continually and consistently read and teach others the scriptures and put to use the gifts of God in your life.
Have you been washed in the blood of the Lamb? Have you been baptised in the Holy Spirit? Are you growing in purity? If yes, do not be weary in well doing. If no, you have another opportunity before you.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Motivational Quote

HYMN
Nothing But The Blood
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Chorus
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing, this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteiousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
