We are like that crumpled up shirt in the laundry.
Sweat stained from toil
Food stained from providence
Tear stained from pain
Frayed from wear & tear.
When we are put into the washing machine we are washed by Christ. The stains are removed by your acceptance of what he did for you.
It doesn't finish.
As we come out & are hung up to dry , we have many wrinkles.
These wrinkles come out with ironing , the Hot iron is the Word.
The more we ingest the quicker the wrinkles are made smooth.
Even though we are smooth we can become very stiff & starchy. This is because we read not the Word in spirit but literally.
In spirit , this is like the fabric softener that detangles the fiber's & layer by layer , precept upon precept we understand.
Does that make us perfect?
No, we are washed by the Blood of Christ , repentant of our sins (turning away from), in this World not of this World.
We may stumble & fall , but knowing what Christ did for us brings that motivation never wanting to crucify Our Lord & Saviour again.
Thankyou Yeshua 🙏❤️
Great analogy! We have a wonderful fabric cleaner.
