[Scriptures]Romans 6:23
Revelation 16:12-16
You can’t tell skin and dirt apart, either by looking at them with your eyes or touching them.
Skin with dirt on it looks like soft baby skin when you look at it and touch it.
However, once you pour water and scrub,
thread-like dirt and thick threads of dirt peel off and roll away.
In the same way, sins are also stuck to the skin of your daily life.
Therefore, people can’t tell whether that is sin or a part of daily life,
and can’t easily tell whether it is sin or righteousness.
If you pour water on your body, soak the dirt, and scrub it off,
dirt can no longer stay stuck to the skin.
At first, you did not know whether something was sin, righteousness, or a part of daily life.
But once you wash with the water of the Word,
you can tell whether it is sin, righteousness or a part of daily life.
Repentance is something truly good.
How clean it feels if there is something dirty and you throw it away!
How great it is to get rid of blemishes on your skin and see your skin become clear!
How refreshed you feel when you brush your teeth!
How great it feels to scrub off dirt accumulated on your body!
In this way, repentance is this terrific.
From now on, become clean by repenting of sins that are like waste products that are produced from within and the sins that are like dust and pollution that come from the outside everyday. I bless you to do this and therefore live at a higher life.
