Because GOD IS HOLY (Perfect and Clean), He is able to make my dirty heart clean. I want Him to help me keep it that way!

Positively Clean!

pure water.jpg
If you take an . . .
Itsy, bitsy, teensy bit of slime
And put it in an ooh, ah
Clean, refreshing drink.
Stir it up and what do you find?
A drink that you would never want to try.

And if you do an . . .
Itsy, bitsy, teensy little sin
It doesn't matter how good you've been.
That itsy, bitsy, teensy little sin,
Is enough to make you never clean again.

You may ask, "What does it matter?"
A little white lie now and then.
After all, no one lives a perfect life.
Besides, I know
God loves me so
And He wants me in heaven with Him.
But . . .

There's no way that He could let you in --
Not with even just one tiny sin.
God is clean through and through,
and you know what one little sin would do!

That is why Jesus had to die.
There's no one else who could pay sin's price.
And if you accept His sacrifice,
He'll take away the guilt of your sin
And wash away the slime within.

It doesn't mean you'll live life perfectly
Though God will help you try to do what's right.
And He makes you this guarantee
That when you get to heaven you will be --

Totally,
Completely,
Absolutely,
Positively,
CLEAN!

How would you explain to someone what "sin" is? (Sin is anything that falls short of God's perfection: perfect love, perfect truth, perfect kindness, perfect mercy, perfect faithfulness, perfect forgiveness, perfect justice. Sin means any time we are selfish, rude, greedy, untruthful, and when we do things our way rather than God's.)

Because God is Perfect and Clean He cannot allow us to make Him dirty with our sin . . . and that was a big problem! Fortunately for us, God wants a relationship with us, so He made a way to solve the problem.

This is what the Bible says in Hebrews 10:12-14.

Our High Priest offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then He sat down in the place of honor at God's right hand. There He waits until His enemies are humbled and made a footstool under His feet. For by that one offering He forever made perfect those who are being made holy.Discover God Bible, (NLT).

How many of your sins does Jesus' sacrifice take away? (All of them.)

For how long is His sacrifice good? (Forever.)

Read Hebrews 10:17.

Then He says, "I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds." Discover God Bible, (NLT).

When we accept Jesus' sacrifice, do we need to worry about God bringing up old sins and punishing us? (No! He chooses not to remember our sins anymore.)

Listen to what Hebrews 10:19 says that Jesus' sacrifice allows us to do.

And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven's Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. Discover God Bible, (NLT).

Why does it matter?

God's sacrifice allows us to be with Him forever in Heaven and to have a relationship with Him here on earth without ruining (contaminating) His Holiness. God doesn't want us to wait until we get to heaven for us to "come boldly into His presence"!
