Titus 2:14; 1 Peter 1:18-19
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and
purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Purification is the process of making clean or removing corruptible; in
today's discussion the focus is on purification of man by the precious blood of
Jesus Christ.
Let's look at what Jesus' blood did in the purification process; first
His blood was shed on the cross at Calvary to
redeem us from all wickedness. While in this state of mind we had a desire to
deify God's law and His holy standards (1 John 3:4). Once the believer is
redeemed, sanctified, and justified those desires changed from disobedience to
obedience. Also, there is a heart-felt love and devotion to God as well as a
desire to live to please Him by being living sacrifices unto Him.
The second act in the purification process was to make us a holy people
that are separated from the world and its systems. A people consecrated to God
as His own possession. As a consecrated people we have the seal of the Holy
Spirit who keeps us in the family of God. In purification we become a holy
people who will stand and tell the world "yes I have been born
again."
Thanks God for Jesus and His precious blood that cleanse my soul from sin
and iniquities and have been washed wither than snow.
Jesus our purifier; His blood the purifying agent in the purification
process. What a purifier!
