All things that are mixed must be separated completely!

 

 

We must listen to the word of God and completely separate all that is mixed within us.

We must remove all impurities.

Within our impure mixed faith, not based on the word of truth,

we must separate and remove all impure false beliefs.

Within our impure mixed love, not of God but of human sinfulness,

we must separate and remove all worldly and superficial fake love.

Within our impure mixed hope, apart from our hope in Jesus Christ,

we must separate and remove all worldly, fleeting, fake hope.

Within our impure mixed character, not becoming like Jesus but like the world,

we must separate and remove false truth and false humility.

Within the motives of our impure mixed hearts,

if we claim to serve for the glory of God, His kingdom, and His church with our lips,

yet harbor impure motives seeking our own glory and selfish ambitions,

we must separate and remove all impure motives.

 

(As I was meditating on Nehemiah 13:3)
