A study from Vince Baker Ministries
What does purity of heart look like in practice?
Jesus connects purity of heart with seeing God. Paul describes Christ’s humility through His willingness to serve. Together the passages invite readers to look at their motives and at the way their actions affect others, especially when no one is watching.
What does the image of a clean vessel mean?
Second Timothy uses the picture of household vessels to describe readiness for good work. The surrounding passage calls believers to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace. Pick one of those virtues and apply it to an interaction you expect to have this week.
