THE CLEANSING POWER OF GOD’S WORD
“… just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. Ephesians 5:25-27 NKJV
God’s love for you is pure, absolute, constant and sincere. The love of God for you will not allow Him to ignore whatever error or sin in your life no matter how small or secret it may appear to you. Any sin in your life if not confessed, repented from, forsaken and cleansed from your life will hinder you from meeting with and going with Jesus when He returns.
God’s only instrument for exposing and cleansing us from every blemish, stain, spot or wrinkle is His Word. The Word or God has the capacity to cleanse us from wrong thoughts. wrong words and wrong actions. The Word of God remains the eternal principle for life and living in God’s Kingdom and it is no respecter of persons.
Your attitude to the Word of God when it convinces or convints you of any sin will determine your place in eternity when Jesus comes. May the Lord Jesus Himself help you to be receptive to His Word even when it hurts so that you may be thoroughly washed from every stain or wrinkle that can jeoperdixze your entrance into God’s Kingdom at last. Good morning and do have a fulfilling day.
