1 Corinthians 6:11a: And such were some of you. But you were washed…
“Ye are washed.” It is “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration …” (Titus 3:5). We have been born again, washed. Because the mercy of God has reached down and touched us, we ought to know how to extend mercy. We can be merciful because we have experienced mercy. We should recognize that there are many wonderful believers today who have been washed. We should trust ourselves to them rather than to the unsaved. 1
Application
- How often do you need this “washing?”
- What would your life be like today if there was never this “washing” available?
