We Are Clean Through Christ

"Now ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you." John 15:3

"For the Word of the God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of joints and morrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

The very first thing that our Father had us study with this blog was about our salvation. He showed us that we are to study to show ourselves approved unto Him, workmen who need not be ashamed. We studied that in the beginning was the Word and that the Word was God. Now we see that we are clean through the power of the Living Word. The Word, which is actually Jesus, lives in us, we are now one with it. The Word keeps us and it gives us the ability and the power to be the sons of God. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,) and we beheld His glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:14

We are now clean by the Word and the Word is Jesus. We now have abilities that are quick and powerful because of the Word. "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) 2 Corinthians 10:4

Our Father had Paul write a warning to Timothy. "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they, which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth." 1 Timothy 3:5-7

There are many who confess to be saved and many who teach, but they deny the power and unity that God’s Word proclaims that we have. Turn away from such people. We now have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, Who empowers us and leads us in studying to show ourselves approved unto God, workmen who need not be ashamed. And through the Spirit of God we are able to discern these wolves in sheep's clothing.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou should be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." Hosea 4:6 But through Christ we have the knowledge of the Truth that has set us free and through Christ we are now clean to be used fully by our Father to win the world!
