Today's Word
Word of the Day: Purify yourself from everything that contaminates you
The New Testament holds many promises for us. These promises are of the help God offers us during our challenges and struggles, God's great rescue plan through the return of Christ, and the promise of eternal life.
Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
2 Corinthians 7:1
In 2 Corinthians 7:1, we are called to seek purity in our lives, because of the promises God has made to us. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we have the promise of redemption and eternal life. Therefore, as beloved of God, our desire should be to live a purified life both in body and spirit.
Purifying the body involves taking care of our physical temple, our body. We should distance ourselves from harmful practices and habits that do not honor God. But purifying our spiritual self is equally important. We must distance ourselves from attitudes, thoughts, and feelings that damage our relationship with God and others.
Pursuing holiness is not an easy task, but a journey of continuous growth. This verse in Corinthians should remind us that we need to be building holiness and purity with reverence and fear of God. This fear is not dread, but a deep respect and awe for our Creator.
So, as we walk our path of faith, let us keep our hearts and minds focused on God's promise and strive to live a purified and sanctified life, honoring God in every area of our lives.

Word of the Day: 3 promises from God for your life
God always fulfills His promises! He makes special promises to those who love Him. And each of us can walk daily in the right direction toward the fulfillment of the plans God has for our lives.
We can never have complete control over our own lives and plans. Sometimes, what may seem like a good idea today can turn into a bad one tomorrow. Moreover, how can we ever know that what we want is the same as what God wants? Even if you desire good things for your life, the Lord always knows what is best for you.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
God's plans are greater than you can imagine! He has plans to bless you and not harm you. Trust your dreams into God's hands and allow Him to show and guide you on the best paths. Trust in His infinite love and immeasurable goodness!
If you believe in Jesus Christ and have dedicated your life to Him, God promises:
- to always be with you,
- to grant you a life of abundance,
- and to give you eternal life!
He offers these things not because you deserve them, but because He loves you.
Do you want to receive these 3 promises from God, then all you need is to ask.
