Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace

Charles Spurgeon

Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians. It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment.

The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness.

Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace | Devotional

When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually. (Job 1:5)

Before the believer rests tonight, it would be good for him to do what the patriarch did early in the morning after the family festivities.

Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians.

It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment; they too often degenerate into unholy amusements.

There is a way of joy as pure and holy as though one bathed in the rivers of Eden; holy gratitude should be just as purifying an occasion as grief.

Sadly for our poor hearts, the facts prove that the house of mourning is better than the house of feasting (Ecclesiastes 7:2).


Believer, how have you sinned today? Have you been forgetful of your high calling? Have you been like others in frivolous words and unkind speeches? Then confess the sin and run to the sacrifice. The sacrifice sanctifies.

The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness. This is the best ending of a Christmas Day – to wash anew in the cleansing fountain.

Believer, come to this sacrifice continually. If it is good to do so tonight, it is good every night. To live at the altar is the privilege of the royal priesthood.

To those who have been bought by the blood of the Lamb, sin, as significant as it is, is nevertheless no cause for despair since they draw near yet again to the sin-atoning victim, and their conscience is purged from dead works (Hebrews 9:14).

Gladly I close this festive day,
Grasping the altar’s hallowed horn;
My slips and faults are washed away,
The Lamb has all my trespass borne!

No matter what sin we have committed, no matter how terrible it may be, God loves us.- Billy Graham

What God’s Love Can’t Do

Billy Graham
God cannot forgive the unrepentant sinner. The human race is called on throughout the Bible to repent of sin and return to God. This love of God can be entirely rejected. God will not force Himself upon any man against his will.
“To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge! To do the will of God is the greatest achievement.”—George W. Truett

Pure and Powerful

Zig Ziglar
Too often, we value all received messages equally. God’s Word, though, is more precious and valuable than any other message sent to us. The psalmist describes God’s message as “pure words” that are like silver processed “seven times” in the furnace.
“The only ultimate disaster that can befall us is to feel ourselves at home on this earth.”— Malcolm Muggeridge

The Secret of Contentment

Zig Ziglar
Somewhere along the way, Paul learned the secret of contentment. He realized that possessions, fame, beauty, and other earthly things can be pleasant for a while, but they can never produce genuine contentment. That comes from the inside.
Here is the truth: Jesus Christ is Lord of life and Lord of all. - Jack Graham

Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jack Graham
Jesus is the Lord of Life, and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible. Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him.
All of it was done for you and me.  Considering that, it is incumbent upon us to have the Blessing which the Cross affords

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart
This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.
