THE CALVARY MINISTRY ONLINE The Gospel From Calvary WEDNESDAY 5TH AUGUST, 2026 TRUE PURITY FROM WITHIN ✝️📖🤍 📜 🔑📖 KEY VERSE:``` "There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man" (MARK 7:15). In Mark 7, the Pharisees watched hands but Jesus watched hearts. They held the tradition of the elders, washing pots and cups, yet their hearts were far from God. They honored Him with lips, but not with life. Jesus called the multitude and taught, defilement does not come from without — it comes from within. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, murders, pride, foolishness. The problem is not dirty hands, but a dirty heart. And only Calvary can wash a heart. Three truths from true purity: One, religion cleans the outside. The Pharisees were experts at outward washing — cups, hands, tables. Many today still do — forms, rituals, appearance. But God looks not on the outward. Two, sin comes from inside. “From within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts.” The heart is the factory of sin. We do not become sinners because we sin; we sin because we are sinners. The fountain needs cleansing, not just the buckets. Three, only Jesus cleanses the heart. That is why He came to Calvary. The blood that flowed from His side is the only soap that can wash the inside. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us... and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Have you been washing cups while your heart is still defiled? Come to the Cross today. Let not your worship be lip-service. Ask Him to create in you a clean heart. That is the Gospel from Calvary — not washed hands, but a washed heart. ✍🏽 📜 THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` PSALMS 61-63
