The Condemned Have Become The Blameless

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14

We have read over and over again that through the power of Christ we are now the Temples of the Holy Ghost and we here see that God proclaims that there is no fellowship between light and darkness. We have seen in the Word that God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all. “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5 So if we are now in God, born of our Him, one with our Father, and if we are now His Temple, and if we are now members of His flesh, of His bones, and of His body, how is it that our flesh could not be pure as well? If the Blood of Jesus did not purify our flesh, than we would not be able to house the Holy Ghost, we would not be able to have fellowship with God, and we would be divided against ourselves. Jesus said that a divided house cannot stand. "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." Mark 3:25 The materials that made the Ark of the Covenant weren’t anything special until the Spirit indwelled that box, and then they sure were! Well how much more effect will the Holy Spirit purify the human vessels that He now indwells? Jesus was born from the Holy Spirit and of a corrupt woman, and yet His flesh was able to be offered as a pure and perfect sacrifice!

After all that we have learned, it can only be that when we said yes to Jesus, we were made whole, our whole spirit, our whole soul, and our whole body. That is the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ! "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you, Who also will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 God will also do it, read that again, “Who also will do it!” There are absolutely no doubts written here, read the verses before and after it, no hesitations, and no stipulations; just free and simple grace, absolute salvation through Jesus Christ.
