Oct 17 ~ THE NEW LIFE SHOULD NEVER GET OLD:  SALVATION, A CONTINUOUS TRANSFORMATION

James 4:8 “Draw nigh to Go, and he will draw nigh to you.  Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”

Notice the word “NIGH” in the text, which means NEAR. As Christians, we are united with Christ by our faith.  But sin creates a barrier which fractures our relationship with Him.  If ignored, sin will ultimately remove us from our relationship with God, as stated in Romans 8:13; “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:  but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”  Saints, as we repent and remain faithful in Christ, may we keep our hearts pure, maintain a life of consecration to Him with the confession of our sins and separate ourselves from the world.  We thank you Lord for your grace, mercy, and the unconditional love you show us, though we are not worthy; continue working and cleansing us, for we are nothing without you!
