Topic: From Darkness To Light 15 - Repentance And Faith 
Text: Acts 26:18 
"To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."

Reflection: 
Repentance and faith are fundamental to salvation, over and over in the scripture we read the word "repent" because "the kingdom of heaven is at hand", the scripture teaches that "God commandeth all men everywhere to repent" and Jesus warned us that "except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish" sin is as natural to the posterity of Adam as wallowing in the mud is natural to swine, so the word repentance is not a beloved thought for those who have beloved sins, but "without holiness no man shall see the lord."

What is true repentance?
In true repentance there is a knowledge and an acknowledgement of sin.The scripture says "to open their eyes", sinners live in a "strong delusion" before their eyes are opened, inspite of all their lying, stealing, blasphemy, covetousness they "proclaim their own goodness" but when they look into the mirror of Gods law in truth they see all of their moral disfigurations, they see that they are stained with the mire, and mud they have wallowed in, they feel the weight of their sin and the power of God's indignation.

In true repentance there is a godly sorrow for sin because they understand that they have "sinned against heaven". 2 Corinthians 7:9 "... ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner..." God's Spirit makes us aware that our sins are the ruin of our soul and that without a substitutionary sacrifice our case will be eternally miserable.

Prayer: 
Father, please have mercy on all my sins, don't let my sins ruin my soul in Jesus Name

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Tuesday 30th April 2024 Topic: Goodness And Mercy 30 - Followed By Good And Mercy 2 Text: Psalms 31:20  "In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots of men; You keep them secretly in Your pavilion from the strife of tongues." Reflection:  One of the way we can understand goodness and mercy following us, is simply blessings from God are on my life, and they follow me. Because the Lord is my shepherd goodness and mercy follow hard after me. Isn't that a wonderful thought that God put a patrol car with a souped up hemi engine in it to pursue you? Goodness and mercy are the officers in the car and they are not there to bust you but to bless you. Psalms 31:19 "Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men" David was so convinced of the fact of God...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Friday 21st February 2025  Topic: Love, Acceptance And Forgiveness 21 - Are You Accepted 2 Text: Ephesians 4:29-30   "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." Reflection:  Continuation From Yesterday's Devotional. If we could truly get hold of, really understand, that we are accepted, adopted, blameless, chosen, forgiven, predestined, and sealed by God’s Holy Spirit on the basis of Christ’s atoning work, we would be so busy praising God all the day long that we would find no opportunity for petty differences. God was satisfied by Christ for sin, Jesus died because I deserved to die. Jesus took my place and died for me. Scripture says that He actually became us: "He who knew no sin, was made sin for us," (2 Corinthians 5:2...
