—Psalm 24:1-6
by: Cheri Appel.
How can we be pure enough to enter into God’s presence? A pastor once shared this illustration. Holding up a Bible, he called it our Salvation. To represent each of us, he used a piece of paper. Placing the paper within the pages of the Bible, he demonstrated how Jesus’ blood covered all of us and our sins. When we stand in God’s presence, He will only see Jesus’ sacrifice covering us, making us pure. In addition to forgiving our sins, He wipes it all away as if we had never sinned in the first place. This is God’s grace. Let’s reject the deceit that separated us from Him, seek His face constantly, and sing His praises!
