Scripture Union Daily Guide 30 June 2024: Sin Defiles Everything
Daily Guide Devotional For Today 30th June 2024 (Sunday)
TODAY’S TOPIC: SIN DEFILES EVERYTHING
OPENING PRAYWER: I open my heart to meditate on your word, teach me your ways oh Lord.
SCRIPTURE: LEVITICUS 15:1-15
Question(s) for Reflection
* Q7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?
Scripture Union Daily Guide 30 June 2024 Outline:
The keyword in this passage is “discharge”. Go through the passage again and take note of the number of times it appears. The discharge is simply the flow of liquid which could be water, body fluid, diarrhoea, or discharge from sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea, syphilis, etc.
Note that the discharge makes the person unclean (v.3). Anything the person touches or spits upon is defiled. Those who touch him must remain unclean until evening. Clay vessels that he touches are to be broken and wooden vessels washed (vs.4-12). The possibility of infection was very wide. This is a picture of sin. Sin defiles, and anything sin touches becomes defiled and unacceptable to God (Romans 8:8). Sin contaminates everyone and everything. We must not play with sin.
Vs.13-15 shows that when cured, the infected person cannot be declared as clean without an atoning sacrifice. In the same way, nothing else will remove the defilement of sin from man, except the blood of Jesus Christ (1 John 1:8-9).
Practice/Word Application
And so? Lay hold of the grace and mercy made available by God through Jesus to atone for your sins.

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD
1. What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2. For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
3. Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
4. This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
5. Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
6. Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Closing Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the provision you have made for my cleansing through the blood of Jesus, so I can serve you acceptably.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Jeremiah 29:13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
