"Now ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you." John 15:3
Imagine actually accepting and believing the Truth that through the power of Christ we are now clean, not one spot and not one speck of unrighteousness in us. Think of the peace, the joy, the fellowship and communion with God that it would bring. We rarely if ever have been taught or heard it preached that we actually can be this way, but when we read the Word of God, there it is, “we are now clean through the Word.” We read that God has now given us His Spirit so that we may be cleansed from all unrighteousness. No spot, no wrinkle, and no blemish, through the power of Christ a glorious church! Yet where are the sermons, where is the hope being preached, I am not even talking about faith yet, just the hope that through the power of Jesus in our lives we can and should be this way? Where is the hope that Jesus is that strong when it comes to saving us, that His sacrificed Blood is that powerful for us, and that God’s love is that awesome in keeping us? Where is it preached that because of Christ the yoke of being clean is light and easy to be born?
Faith for us comes from hearing the Word of God and we now have the mind of Christ to accept and believe the Truth that sets us free! And our peace passes all understanding and our peace is that Jesus has cleansed us completely through the power of His might! Our peace is Jesus’ peace, and we now know as He knows and understand as He understands, because He is now our Head. Today is the Day of our Salvation and now is the appointed time for the fullness of God to dwell within us with all of the power of His might and strength! We are new creatures in Christ and all of the old dirt and darkness has passed away for us; our bodies of sin have been destroyed and crucified with Christ! Jesus has rescued us completely from all unrighteousness this day and as He is, so are we in this world!
