~ Good Morning and Happy SUNDAY:

“This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!”

On this beautiful Sunday morning, I have a wonderful scripture passage for you to read and be encouraged, and motivated, by.

• Hebrews‬ ‭10:22-25 •

“So let’s come near God with pure hearts and a confidence that comes from having faith. Let’s keep our hearts pure, our consciences free from evil, and our bodies washed with clean water. (23)We must hold tightly to the hope we say is ours. After all, we can trust the one who made the agreement with us. (24)We should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and to do helpful things. (25)Some people have given up the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other (to regularly attend Worship Experience’s), especially since you know that the day of the Lord’s coming is getting closer.” (CEV‬‬)

Let’s read these verses and commit to begin following their instructions right now.

✝️ “let’s come near God with pure hearts and a (sincere) confidence…”

✝️ “let’s keep our hearts pure…”

✝️ (Let’s keep) “our consciences free from evil…”

✝️ (Let’s keep) “our bodies washed with clean water.”

• This could mean through Water Baptism, and/or it could mean a changed life, not only on the inside, but the outside, as well. I personally believe that after we are saved on the inside, that there should be a change on the outside.

✝️ “We must hold tightly to the hope we say is ours” (that comes from the Lord)

• Meaning that Christians are to hold unswervingly is their profession of faith (your testimony of saving grace through Jesus). This profession/confession is the essence of the Christian faith.

✝️ “keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful (of each other) and to do helpful things” (for one another).

✝️ (We must not give) “up the habit of meeting for worship…”

• The idea here is Corporate Worship, or the Church worshipping together as the local body of Jesus.

✝️ “We should keep on encouraging each other to regularly attend Worship Experience’s, especially since you know that the day of the Lord’s coming is getting closer.

• “encouraging” here means to stimulate, stir up, provoke to excitement, one another.

The Lord has spoken, so let’s Obey Right Away and Do what the Lord has Said To Do!

‼️ Don’t Miss Your Worship Experience This Morning ‼️
