SAFE WORD: CLEANSE
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Many a time we use and speak word so easily without thinking much of whether such word is correct to use in our daily conversation. We treat it lightly. Word such as "LUCK" is not found in the Bible and yet we often use it.
b) Why is it so necessary to learn to use and speak the correct word? Matthew 12:36-37 has a lot to say about it.
i) 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37 NKJV)
c) We will have to give an account of ourselves (Romans 14:12), every idle (careless, empty, thoughtless, worthless) word we speak (Matthew 12:36) and every work (deed) including every secret (hidden) thing whether good or evil (Ecclesiastes 12:14) in the day of judgment. For that reason, it compels us to use and speak the correct word or words especially God's Word. It's safe to use and we can learn a lot from its intended meaning.
1. Safe word:
a) Cleanse(d) (s) - to make clean.
2. Biblical references:
a) Psalms 19:12; 51:2; 119:9
i) 12 Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. (Psalms 19:12 NKJV)
ii) 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. (Psalms 51:2 NKJV)
iii) 9 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. (Psalms 119:9 NKJV)
b) Luke 17:17
i) 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? (Luke 17:17 NKJV)
c) Ephesians 5:26
i) 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word. (Ephesians 5:26 NKJV)
d) 1 John 1:7
i) 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7 NKJV)
The End ...
