Washed in The Word

Eph 5:19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord

Ever been washed in the word while you were standing there having a normal conversation about the Lord?

Oh my! If you were satisfied with a little bit of Jesus, how much more would you be with someone defending you to another stating with boldness that “[insert name] was saved by grace!” and so on….This is what Jesus does on our behalf, no matter where we’ve come from or where we’re going, this is how He talks about us. He lifts us up and encourages us with His love and His hope and His truth. He’s always inserting our name in sentences like this one that discuss His truth, that fight for our salvation, that encourage us to fight the race and win the battle using His word. How good of a God is He that He cares about us that much? And how good of a brother or sister are we when we do the same for another!

Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
