Cleanliness

Hebrews 10:22


Having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience, and having our bodies washed with pure water.

We are to cleanse both our hearts and our bodies. Some have taken this to refer to water Baptism, but I think that God is concerned for our physical as well as spiritual cleanliness. I think this is where the admonition, "cleanliness is next to Godliness," comes from. God is concerned that we take care of our bodies, to keep them clean and free from sexual sin and in good physical health in our eating real food. The Temple of the Holy Ghost is worth taking good care of.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
