October 28, 2012: Cleaner Than Soap

3 gifts in Christ:

• squeaky cleanness.  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
• encouragement (and don't we all desperately need that in this world so often hard?). May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,  encourage your hearts. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17a 
• victory. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57
