“that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,”
Ephesians 5:26 KJV
Paul likens the love between the husband and wife as between Christ and the glorious Church. Christ sacrificed Himself for the Church that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. Christ is the voice of God’s language, immersed in this conversation, His love words bathe us and remove from us every stain of sin. We know Christ gave Himself up completely to make the Church His own, washing her clean of all her impurity with water and the powerful presence of His word. Let’s believe in Christ’s so great love for us and agree to wash and cleanse ourselves with the washing of water by the word. Thank You, Jesus, for loving us and washing us by Your word. Amen!
