UNLESS YOU COME OUT …
How can you be born again when you have not been washed away from your sins and guilt?
Like a man who falls inside a soak-away full of excretal, how can he be washed if he remains deep-sinking in the soak-away? He must first come out before cleansing can be made possible. The provision for forgiveness and total cleansing has been perfectly provided in the blood of Jesus Christ according to 1 John 1:7. But as powerful and readily this cleansing is, unless you willingly and genuinely come out from the soak-away of sin and worldliness, you can never access the cleansing. And an unclean thing shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Isaiah 35:8 says, “A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray.”
The word of God for us in 1 John 2:15-17 is “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
A sinner shall not see God unless he/she repent of his sins and turn to Him. God who is ready to accept you back is calling you to come out of your evil and wicked lifestyle and embrace His new life of holiness. He says, “Therefore Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty." 2 Cor. 6:17-18.
If you can heed His invitation, His warm embrace is waiting for you to receive you as you are, then cleanse you and make you whole to be come glittering saint. He will forgive you all your sins, erase them off and remember them no more. He said, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” -- Heb 8:12; 10:17.
Jesus loves you, but not the sins in your heart. Do away with sins, cry unto Jesus Christ for mercy and ask Him to come and live in you, you will then become His temple where He will be living. For He says, “for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” 2 Cor. 6:16.
Do you desire to be a temple of God, an abode of God Almighty? You must be washed clean by the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. Without cleansing, you will be irritating to Him. Of a truth, before cleansing, you have to come out of your sins like the man in the soak-away. Confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour and you will be saved – Romans 10:9-10.
It is a personal decision. Don’t allow anyone to stop you from confessing His Lordship over your soul. On the judgment day, only you will stand to give account of what you do with the salvation of your soul. No friend or parent will stand with you. Come out today from your secret sins and stand out for God in holiness and righteousness, tomorrow may be too late. No sin is too wicked that God cannot forgive, if you confess it and repent from it. And no sin is too small that He will ignore, if you refuse to confess it and repent from it. Every sin is capable of ending us in hell fire. Repent today and be saved. Jesus is Lord!!!
