CLEAN-UP TIME
CLEAN-UP TIME
Submitted by Rachel Garrett
Dec 12, 2005
Have you ever used hydrogen peroxide to clean an open wound? I have,
and I always thought it was cool that you could see it working by the
foaming action. You see, what the hydrogen peroxide does is to draw out
the impurities that might otherwise infect your open wound. It could be
a paper cut or a scraped knee, but it still serves the same function:
to draw the impurities and clean up the wound so that any further
damage or infection can be spared.
In the same way, when we accept God into our lives a change or drawing
out and away from impurities must take place. God knows whats best for
us, and we should accept His help (Jesus Christ who saves us by taking
our sins away and taking them on himself). His help includes drawing
out our impurities or sin that causes destruction and damage in our
lives. Romans chapter 6, verse 23 says, For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
How long are you going to wait to put hydrogen peroxide on your wounds?
Will you wait until the infection of sin has become advanced, like an
infected open wound, or will you accept the help and gift of Christ
Jesus, our Lord and Savior, and let Him take care of your impurities?
Stop sin from infecting and standing in the way of your relationship
with God and a better life today. Ask Jesus to come be your hydrogen
peroxide, and He will help clean up the sin in your life to prevent
further damage and infection to your soul.
