Receiving God's Word spoken by Jesus Christ, by faith, and walking obediently in the Spirit according to His teachings lovingly given by the Father for our Salvation, makes us Followers of Christ, made clean from all filthiness brought on by sin, which the Accuser of Brethren holds against Sons of Men. Faithful Christians are already cleansed by the Truth which they know and live in the Spirit for, as reflections of Christ on Earth; still, what's needed is to be pruned by the Word of the Father in parts which impede others, washing feet so that those served may remain separated in the Church from unbelievers and empowered by the LORD to overcome every deception and lust of the flesh which the devil initiated to distract humans from their service to God, who need not be tried by others (1 Cor. 5:8-13, John 13:10 & 17:17).
Moreover, as Heirs of the Father, our hope of eternity in Christ Jesus keeps us purified as we live for Him, glorifying His Name on Earth so we remain untouched by the forces of wickedness which defile humankind but shine brighter in the darkness (Ps. 105:14-15, 1 John 3:2-3).
PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, for the cleansing I received through Your Word, who constantly purifies my soul as I meditate on it daily. Please, keep me strengthened in every way, to spread Your Word: reaching out to all who need cleansing by the Word declared over their lives, so that hearts may be purified and hands cleansed for Your service, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.
From John 15:3
