Today we are going to concentrate on Verse 3. "Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you."
God's word is powerful and when He tells us we are clean through His word, we know this is a truth we all need and that is, 'to be clean'. What does it mean to be clean? The dictionary tells us the following: Free from moral impurity, free from defilement, free from guilt, sanctified and holy. I like the last one, 'free from guilt, sanctified and holy'. I believe that is what the Bible definition is.
How do we get free from guilt, sanctified and holy? Verse 3 tells us,"now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you>" That's pretty simple, isn't it. Spend time in God's word and accepting His promptings and counsel and before you know it, you will be bearing much fruit to God's glory. All those things you wanted to be; will be a part of your character as you linger in His word, absorbing it day by day. You also will be abiding in Him through His word. It is such a simple thing to do, I was overwhelmed with the simplicity of it all. Not through yet, we have some more verses to consider. I pray that you are praying for strength and wisdom to grasp how simple it is to have a relationship with Christ and God. So simple, but I have some more good news to add to this.
