Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Friday 4th April 2025 Topic: Rebirth And Regeneration From Ashes 4 Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17  “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Reflection:  Continuation From Yesterday's Devotional. A new life can create courage, hope and reassurance. We could have a newfound focus and determination. We may be strengthened with such avidness to cope with any adversity that life may inflict. In any cocoon or chrysalis that we may feel entrapped, we will find a way forward to freedom. Just as the disciples watched in amazement at the Transfiguration of Christ on that mountain, faith and hope had been strengthened and possibly renewed like the newfound wings of freedom a butterfly also experiences. The disciples were seeing the Messiah in a new form which reflected glory and a promise of good things to come.  2 Corinthians 3:18 confirms: “And we all, with unveiled ...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Thursday 3rd April 2025 Topic: Rebirth And Regeneration From Ashes 3 Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17  “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Reflection: Continuation From Yesterday's Devotional.  Butterflies are a symbol of rebirth or a new life. When a newly formed butterfly attempts to emerge from its chrysalis, it is often not an easy task. Problems occur along the way. Not only physical strength is required to force its way out, but elements of pain may also be endured during the process. The determination to survive is of paramount importance. If it does not succeed in emerging from its protection, then it will not survive to experience a new life. It could be considered a life-or-death situation. All efforts will have been futile. Romans 5:3-5 confirms: “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and enduran...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Wednesday 2nd April 2025  Topic: Rebirth And Regeneration From Ashes 2 Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17  “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Reflection:  One of the pertinent definitions of Rebirth is stated as a period of new life, growth, or activity. It can include a revival of one's inner self. Some people have the resourcefulness to take a step back from everyday life, sit, ponder and possibly wonder if they have already experienced the best in life or what the future may hold for them. Have they missed opportunities that may never be repeated? How will they feel in ten years when they will be that much older? Is there anything left in life to strive ahead for or have they accomplished all that they can? Is the time right to search for that long-awaited goal, or should we wait to see if something better comes our way? These are in-depth pertinent que...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Tuesday 1st April 2025  Topic: Rebirth And Regeneration From Ashes Text: John 3:3: "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Reflection: Rebirth in Christ Jesus, also known as spiritual rebirth or regeneration, It refers to the transformation that occurs when a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and is born again into a new life in Him. The Need for Rebirth 1 Corinthians 2:14: "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." The need for rebirth is emphasizing the necessity of spiritual transformation through Jesus Christ. The Problem: Spiritual Death Ephesians 2:1-3: "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Monday 31st March 2025  Topic: Great Transformation Unto Glory 20 - Hope Of Glory Text: Colossians 1:27 "Christ in you, the hope of glory."  Reflection:  This verse reminds us that our hope of glory is not based on our own abilities or achievements, but on the presence of Christ within us. As believers, we have the assurance that Christ lives in us, and this gives us hope for eternal glory. This hope is not just a wishful thinking, but a confident expectation of our future inheritance in heaven. In 1 Corinthians 15:43, it is written, "It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power." Our hope of glory is rooted in the resurrection power of Christ, who has conquered death and sin. Because of this, we can face the challenges of life with confidence and hope, knowing that our future is secure in Christ. When there's transformation, there's hope of glory. The connection ...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Friday 28th March 2025  Topic: Great Transformation Unto Glory 17 - Glorious Transformation 2 Text: Ephesians 2:13   "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ." Reflection:  Continuation From Yesterday's Devotional. Since we have known God, or, rather, have been known of God, we have come nigh, but once our ignorance kept us very far off. Worse than that, there was between us and God a vast range of the mountains of sin. We can measure the Alps, the Andes have been sealed, but the mountains of sin no man has ever measured yet. They are very high. They pierce the clouds.  Can you think of the mountains of your sin, beloved? Reckon them all up since your birth-sins of childhood, and youth, and manhood, and riper years; your sins against the gospel, and against the law; sins with the body, and sins with the mind; sins of every shape and form, what a mountain range...

Reflection:  WHAT WE WERE: There was a day when we passed from death unto life. All of us who are children of God have undergone a great and mysterious change; we have been new created, we have been born again. If any of you have not experienced this great change, I can only pray that you may. As many of you as have experienced this great change are now asked to recollect what you were. You were far off, first, in the respect that you were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel. The Jew was brought nigh. The Jewish people were favoured of God with light, while the rest of the world remained in darkness.  "To them he gave" the oracles; with them he made a covenant; but as for the rest of the nation...
