LESSON #16:
“WASHING IN THE WATER OF THE WORD”
In order to completely “KNOW GOD”, the Christian
must not only “wash in the Blood of Christ”, but
he/she must also “wash in the water of the Word.” In
describing His relationship to His blood-washed
church, we read:
“…CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF
FOR HER, THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY AND CLEANSE HER
WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD,
THAT HE MIGHT PRESENT HER TO HIMSELF
A GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT OR WRINKLE
OR ANY SUCH THING, BUT THAT SHE SHOULD BE HOLY
AND WITHOUT BLEMISH.”
Eph 5:25-28
