Today our hearts may be clean. Today we may have a right attitude. If we will
come to Jesus and give Him all our wrong thoughts and feelings, our wrong
attitudes, the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all sin. He can change our hearts

“Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify
and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to
himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that

“It is only the blessed and holy who will be ready for the first resurrection; for
