Christ desires a Church that is holy, pure, and faithful to Him. We must not allow sin, compromise, false teaching, or love for the world to stain our spiritual lives. The preparation of the Bride requires cleansing, obedience, and continual submission to God’s Word. Let us strive to be found faithful and without spiritual blemish when Jesus returns. Scriptural Readings for the Day Ephesians 5:26-27 (KJV) “26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” 2 Peter 3:14 (KJV) “Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.” Prayer Lord Jesus, cleanse and prepare Your Church for Your coming. Help me to live in holiness, purity, and faithfulness, so that I may be found ready when the Bridegroom comes. Amen.
