And I wrapped you in fine linen, and I covered you with silk._ *God Washes The Sins of His Children – Verses 9-10.* Let's consider the phrases used in the passage. The last phrase to consider is: *Fine linen and silk: Righteousness, purity, and luxury.* Every Christian must live the life of purity. You can't sell purity and righteousness for dirt or filthy. In this passage, God is highlighting His loving care and provision for Israel, transforming her from a state of impurity and shame to one of beauty and honour. This is a powerful picture of God's redemptive work in our lives, cleansing us from sin and clothing us with His righteousness. God expects His church to be righteous, pure and loaded with kingdom supportive wealth. Purity living is not an option, it is a necessity. Every Christian must live a pure life, to please our heavenly father. The Church is in the community, hence we must live differently to challenge the community. Luxury here means: 1. Very wealthy and comfortable surroundings; the state of being that they create. 2. Something desirable but expensive and that one can live without. 3. Something that is pleasant and desirable but not necessary in life. The Church needs resources to do the kingdom's work, without which the kingdom's work will suffer unnecessarily. No one should be deceived that luxury in the church is waste or it's not necessary. The church must be empowered with kingdom supportive wealth to run the church and do outreach programmes with pure and righteous living. ...to be continued... *Meditation* *"I also clothed you with embroidered work, and I shod you with dugong sandals.
