The Account with Purity

Devotional: The Account with Purity Scripture Reading: Matthew 15:18-20 (KJV)

"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man."

Today, we’re going to talk about something Jesus taught His disciples. He said that it’s not what we eat or touch that makes us impure, but what comes out of our hearts. This means our thoughts, words, and actions show what’s really in our hearts.

Jesus tells us that things like bad thoughts, lies, and unkind words come from our hearts. Even if we try to be good on the outside, what’s inside our hearts is what really matters. So, how can we make sure our hearts are pure and pleasing to God?

We can’t make our hearts pure by ourselves. We need Jesus to help us. When we invite Jesus into our lives, He helps us clean our hearts. He shows us how to love others, be kind, and think good thoughts.

Pray: Talk to Jesus every day. Ask Him to help you have a pure heart.
Read the Bible: Learn from Jesus’ words and follow His teachings.
Listen to the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit helps us make good choices and fills our hearts with love and kindness.

Imagine you have a cup of water. If the water is dirty, you can’t drink it, right? But if someone cleans the cup and fills it with fresh water, it’s good to drink. Our hearts are like that cup. Jesus can clean our hearts and fill them with His love, making us pure.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Jesus, thank You for teaching us about our hearts. Please come into our hearts and make them pure. Help us to think good thoughts, speak kind words, and do good deeds. We want to follow You and show Your love to everyone. Thank You for always being with us and helping us. In Jesus' name, Amen."
