All Things Are Pure For Us Through Christ
"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Titus 1:15-16
Well are we pure or not? Can we be pure? Is purity something that a human can even obtain while on this earth? Well according to God, we are either pure or we are defiled, there is no in-between, if we are pure then all things are pure to us, and if we are defiled than everything is defiled for us, even religion. God proclaims that a little leaven, will leaven the whole lump of dough, 1 Corinthians 5:6! So are we pure or are we defiled?
Hallelujah, once again Jesus to our rescue! "Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Titus 2:14 We could never be pure on our own and God knew it. So He sent Jesus, Who has the strength, the will, and the ability to purify us completely, so that now all things are pure for us. That is how strong the Blood of our Savior is, it covers all! It redeems us from all iniquity and it purifies all things for us so that we may be used by our Father to produce much fruit, and it makes us eager for good works.
Now stop and look at that, Jesus makes us eager, or zealous, for good works! How many times have you spoken a scripture of real power and had somebody come back with a warning or a caution? As if we may misuse the Truth of our Father. They do this because they believe that it is the power of man, with our own strength, that is being used to carry out the purposes and will of our Father. But we don't operate in the power of human might, we operate in the power of our Lord's might. We are now more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us! Jesus is the One and only One Who makes us desire and want righteous works! And if we are saved, He will be successful through us, and if we are not saved, then even if we try to use the Truth it will be defiled. But for the saved greater is He that is within us, than he that is in the world! Jesus has made us pure so that we may be one with God just as He is one with God, John 17:21-23. We are now the body of Jesus, flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone, Ephesians 5:30. And since we are, we are now as He is, and all things are pure for Jesus, and we are this way even when we are on this earth, 1 John 4:17. Praise God that is how strong Jesus is, He has saved us to the uttermost and through the power of His might we stand strong as He is strong! God will prevail through His children 100% of the time, and through Christ He has prevailed in making all things pure for us and He has prevailed in making us zealous for good works! Our Father may need to prune out some things, but through the Blood of Jesus, we have been made pure so that He can!
