A Daily Habit

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: I know a couple that appeared to have a strong family and a deep, genuine love for Christ. But the husband’s heart had become hard and cold. He harbored private sin for a long time, but eventually it became public. He had to admit to his wife that he’d been committing adultery.

It was a sobering reminder of why we all need to be pursuing holiness. When we’re in a daily habit of repentance, it can help keep us from a pattern of sin that will ultimately destroy us. Dealing with the sin in our hearts daily will protect us from the bigger, longer-term, visible sins.

Remember 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24: “Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.”

Are you letting God sanctify every part of your life?
