AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:26 so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], |
Bible Question:
what is the difference between forgiveness and cleansing |
Bible Answer: The blood of Christ forgives us of our sins, the water cleanses us. Hearing the word preached as a cleansing effect on those who believe, thus the reason for going to church. When Christ was stuck in his side both water and blood was released the blood forgives you the and the water sanctifies or cleans you, this is also why the water must be given freely, it has been paid for with the life of Christ. As we go thru life day to day living we come into contact with things of the world mentally spiritually our spirit just as our bodies must be constantly cleanses by the washing of the water by the word that we might be presented to Christ a glorious soul not having spot or wrinkle, that we would be holy without blemish. The process starts with confessing Christ but we all should and need to continually seek, and meditate on his word, by reading the word, going to church, speaking to those who are more mature in spirit and those who are more knowledgeable of his word are commanded to give that knowledge and wisdom freely to anyone who has the desire to receive the word. Rev 21;5-8 the father Matt 10:8 THE SON Rev 22:17 the holy spirit. |
