The Word Spiritually Cleanses
There are so many ways to cleanse our physical bodies and an array of lotions and fragrances to make us smell, well, ‘heavenly’. From our heads down to our feet there are products made specifically with each area in mind and who does not love a ‘spa day’ Just to be pampered and come away feeling refreshed and oh so squeaky clean? Is there anywhere on earth to find anything that we can use to cleanse our souls, our spirits? The best brands available to us have not come up with such a product and believe me, they never will!
There’s a simple reason for that – while we can wash off of our bodies all the physical dirt and grime that comes from simply doing life, when we do life wrong and sin gets into the spiritual parts of us no amount of scrubbing, soaking and rubbing will help. How well do I know this!
The only ‘soap’ that ‘lathers’ away spiritual grime is truth and truth is only found in the Word of the True and Living God, the God of the Bible, our Heavenly Father, our Abba. Because God loves us so much He has promised time and time again to make us truly clean; take for instance Ezekiel 36:25-27, “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations”.
I don’t know about you, but before God saved me, goodness to me meant trying to do the right thing but the problem with that was, my right thing was very wrong in God’s eyes -
Isaiah 64:6 “We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind”. Oh! but praise be to God for the precious gift of His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who paid such a price, He being the Word Himself. Every time we read the Bible, we become cleaner and cleaner spiritually and it begins to show on the outside. And look at the difference, while physical cleansing cannot bear spiritual fruit when the Word makes us clean on the inside it also radiates on the outside.
In John 15-3 Jesus said “You are already clean because of the Word I have spoken to you”.
