S: Acts 15:9 He made no distinction between us and them, for he cleansed their hearts through faith.
O: Paul and Barnabus had encountered some opposition regarding how you are saved. The Jews couldn't accept that it was by faith alone, you need circumcision as well. Paul was saying that our hearts are cleansed by faith alone.
A/P: Jesus, what a great statement to meditate on...."our hearts are cleansed through faith". As I trust in you and what your sacrifice did for me, my heart is cleansed. As I read through Leviticus at the same time I see your perfection and demands for purification and that is all met in your sacrifice on the cross. The veil has been split and I can enter in. Thank you for cleansing me today...

Leviticus 8:34 Everything we have done today was commanded by the Lord in order to purify you, making you right with him.
