The Purity of Revival

Purity is defined as

and that are honoring to God.

God loves it when His church is pure in and .

Acts 4:32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.

Acts 4:36-37 Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus, sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

God hates it when His church is not pure in and .

Acts 5:1-2 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Acts 5:7-8 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” And she said, “Yes, for so much.”

Pure actions are motivated out of for one another, especially those who are most vulnerable.

Pure actions are motivated out of a for -glorification.

Pure actions are motivated out of the inevitable of God.

Is this motivated out of love?
Is this motivated out of self-glorification?
Is this motivated out of an eternal perspective?
