They have simply lowered the bar of righteousness so they themselves can feel accomplished in their own effort... His righteousness must be found in our life's work. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Washing was an important ritual of the OT priests Ex 30. Today believers are invited to come boldly to the Throne of Grace. Again today believers are priests so the need of cleansing of the blood and the washing of water of the word Eph 5. As one said purity of life is important of the believer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What then must we do? Colossians 3: 12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
