Main text: 2 Timothy 2:19 – Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let everyone that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
Psalm 119:9 – Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word
The solid foundation that God has laid remains, hence if you claim to profess Christ, you must keep yourself Holy. And if you really want to be raptured or see God, you must be Holy (Having your garment free from stain)The moment you rejects sin, confess and accept Christ into your life, He makes you whole hence, clothes you with garment of Holiness. And anytime you sin, you stain the garment.
The freedom Christ gives is not a licence for one to continue in sin. Romans 6:1-2. Being Careless to take note of besetting sins, keeping Bad company, engaging In An Ungodly Discussion and ignoring to repent each time you fall are some of the ways one can stain his garment. If you can avoid all the above ways and stick with the life that in Christ which is worthy of emulation then, there is yet hope for you in Christ.
Finally, every heaven minded believer must follow the step of Paul who continued pressing forward to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won for us (Philippians 3:12 -15)
A CLEAN GARMENT IS THE PASSPORT TO SEEING GOD
Prayer Point: Oh Lord, help me to detest doing things that stain the garment of righteousness you have worn me in Jesus name, Amen.
