Today is World Water Day. Every year, the United Nations’ (UN) World Water Day is observed on March 22 to raise awareness about the importance of water to our lives and environment.
Just as water refreshes us and cleanses us from physical impurities, the word of God refreshes our soul and purifies us from spiritual contamination.
“To make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.” (Ephesians 5:26-27)
To be holy is to live a life that is consecrated, thus, set apart or reserved from the “dirt and stains” of this fallen world to the glory of God.
Perfecting holiness can be likened to washing with water, and no one ever claimed to be clean because they washed a year ago. Holiness therefore requires daily maintenance.
If we are to perfect holiness, we must daily engage God’s word which purifies us from all contaminants.
“Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.” (2 Corinthians 7:1)
Remain inspired!
