Today’s Word from God’s Word-Washed

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Washed.

Spiritually speaking, to be washed is to be cleansed from sin. Baptism is a good illustration of what happens to a person who has been cleansed by grace. The person comes out of the water as a new person with their sins forgiven by God. They went into the water and died to themselves and came out of the water alive to God. This is what happens spiritually to a person who has been converted to Christ.

First Corinthians 6:9 tells us that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God. The list includes those who engage in sexual immorality, idolatry, greed, and slander.

Verse 11 says, “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” His grace has the power to give us a fresh start and make us clean.
