Squeaky Clean - Love Worth Finding - January 10

January 10, 2025 – Squeaky Clean
1 John 1:8-10
Sermon: 1677 Developing a Clean Thought Life, Part 1

Pray Over This

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
1 John 1:8-10

Ponder This

Imagine the Lord Jesus Christ coming into your life and doing spring cleaning. Imagine Him coming in and cleansing your heart and your mind. He leaves it spotless and squeaky clean. Before you can stay clean, you’ve got to get clean. And to get this clean, you must have Jesus.

Think back on the last time you cleaned your garage, storage room, or whatever room that tends to accumulate things. After a while of letting things pile up, you take a Saturday to pull everything out, sweep it clean, and organize it just right. Once it gets clean, it’s so much easier to keep it clean, but if it’s not clean to begin with, it can’t be kept clean. You must get clean to stay clean, and that begins with admitting your problem.

We must confess that we have a problem that we can’t fix on our own. Bring it to Him. Only He can make you clean.

• What are some things God has cleaned out of your heart? How did He do this in a way you could not?
• What makes it challenging to confess your sin before God and others?

Practice This

Confess your sin to God. Ask trusted believers around you to keep you accountable as you seek to submit these areas to God.
