All Things Are Pure For The Saved

"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Titus 1:15-16

Ask yourself this: are we pure or not? Can we be pure? Is purity something that a human can even obtain while on this earth? Well according to our Father, we are either pure or we are defiled. According to the Word there is no in-between, if we are pure then all things are pure to us, and if we are defiled than everything is defiled for us, even religion. Our Father proclaims that a little leaven, will leaven the whole lump of dough, 1 Corinthians 5:6! So really ask yourself, are we pure or are we defiled?

Hallelujah, once again we will see Jesus to our rescue!

"Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Titus 2:14

We could never be pure on our own and our Father knew it. So He sent Jesus, Who has the strength, the will, and the ability to purify us completely, so that now all things are pure for us. That is how strong the Blood of our Savior is, it covers all! It redeems us from all iniquity and it purifies all things for us so that we may be used by our Father to produce much fruit, and He makes us eager for good works. Now stop and look at that, Jesus makes us eager, or zealous, for good works! How many times have you spoken a scripture of real power and had some religious person come back with a warning or a caution? They do this because they believe that it is the power of man that is being used to carry out the purposes and will of our Father. But we don’t operate in the power of our own might, we operate in the power of our Lord’s might. We are more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us! Jesus is the One and only One Who makes us desire and want righteous works! Greater is He that is within us, than he that is in the world! Jesus has made us pure so that we may be one with God just as He is one with God, John 17:21-23. We are now the body of Jesus, flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone, Ephesians 5:30. And since we are, we are now as He is, and all things are pure for Jesus, and we are this way even when we are on this earth, 1 John 4:17. Praise God that is how strong Jesus is, He has saved us to the uttermost and through the power of His might we stand strong as He is strong!
