Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O GOD; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy Salvation; and uphold me with Thy free Spirit. (Psalms 51:7-12)
Today, we always have the Spirit of GOD with us, indwelling those that are truly His. He comes and possess us, we are His, bought with a price, and He will not let us go. That is not a license to sIn, or behave as we would, but a promise, and a warning to those of us who know Him, to live a sanctified life of surrender that glorifies GOD, and witnesses to others of GOD's presence within us and His life lived through, in, and for us. We are washed because of the Blood of Jesus Christ, and we are made new in Christ. That is Joy in Christ and Peace with GOD. That is the reason we are here. That is the Good News that we are to tell to this lost and dying world.
Those that don't know GOD are separated from Him because of their sIn and still under the condemnation of judgment. But, GOD is not willing that any should perish. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He commands that you must be born again, and to receive by faith in His finished work on the Cross of Calvary a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Believe His Word and receive His free gift of Salvation and forgiveness of your sIn, today.
In Christ,
