Hello there, my friends. Let me ask you a question. If someone were to ask you, how can I cleanse myself from all of my sin? What can I do? How can I purify my soul so that God would accept me. What would you say to that person?

How would you describe the process of having your soul cleanse so that the God of creation

would accept you?

Today, that's what we're going to dig into in 1st Peter chapter 1.

Looking at verses 22 and 23 as we get our minds aligned with the truth of God's

word. This is the morning mindset. That's why we're here. I'm glad you are with me. Now, before we

move forward, friends, I want to let you know there are a number of books that I put together

to help you grow in your faith. One of those is based on a book that is

next to the Bible, the single most important book I have ever read. The book is called Humility. It's

written by a man named Andrew Murray, who was a pastor in South Africa many years ago, and I have

created a study guide that goes along with the full text of the book, Humility.

And you can find it by going to morningmindsetmedia.com slash humility.

And it will help you, friends.

I know it will grow in this grace of humility so that you look more like Jesus.

Now before we go back into 1st Peter chapter 1, I want to invite you to pray with me that our God will be our teacher today.

God, we depend on you, we rest in you, we ask you to be our teacher.

It's that simple. We can't learn without your help, so guide us.

As we read your word, we ask it in your name. Amen.

Okay, first Peter, chapter 1, verses 22 and 23. Peter writes this,

having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth, for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,

through the living and abiding Word of God.

So notice how Peter starts this sentence.
