About This Quote
The Bible tells us that God has not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness. We are not called to be dirty or infected with any disease. If we are, then we have already come under the power of the enemy and have been defeated before we ever start. In order for us to be holy, we must begin with cleanliness.
Our bodies need to be washed from all impurities and dirt. Our hearts need to be cleansed from any evil attitudes and thoughts. We must be cleansed of any sin that may have brought unhappiness into our lives or a lack of success in our work or school.
Cleansing is a process of being filled with the Holy Spirit until we have been set free from all sin so that we can live in a state of holiness for all eternity.
