Bible Question:
Ephesians 5:26: What does it mean "that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word" mean. |
Bible Answer: All men are dead and defiled in (1) original sin because of Adam and (2) in specific acts of disobedience. The word "he" here refers to Christ. He saves us with the washing of regeneration (Tit 3:5). Please see Romans 10:8-9; 17; John 15:3; 17:17 for a better explanation for "word" in this passage. |
