God's Cleansing

 

    When Jesus made His sacrifice, everything changed.  People no longer had to kill innocent animals to become clean.  Jesus took all of our sins upon Himself, so that at the moment of declaration of faith in Him (salvation) we become clean.  He removed any sin up to this moment and helps you maintain your cleanliness.

    Jesus cleans us from the inside of the soul to the appearance that other people see.  He removes sin and impurity.  Prophets were shamed as they see His wounds given for those He calls friends.  When Jesus was killed, His people scattered and many became martyrs down the road.  The survivors were tested and refined.  His sacrifice was made worth it in how they lived and loved.  

    Jesus's friends and family knew His voice.  Do you know Jesus' voice?  Could you hear what He is telling you with all the noise going on in your life?  Can you live and love a life worthy of Him?  Will you answer when He calls?  God's refining is not easy, rarely fun, but the person you come out to be after is always better.  The refined are the remnant.
