Washed

"You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified," 1 Corinthians 6:11.

We practiced sexual immorality. We were idolaters. We were adulterers. We practiced homosexuality. We were thieves. We were greedy. We were drunkards. We were abusive. We were swindlers. We were no heirs of God's kingdom. Yeah. That's who we were. (Not all were all of those, but all of us were some of those and more.) But now. Now we are clean, justified saints. Wow! Purified? How? In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. By the Spirit of our God.

We get together with a brother or sister today no longer sinners but as saints. And together we praise God for washing us heirs into the kingdom of his Christ by his Spirit.
