A Little Whitewash!
By Mark Flippo
Acts 3:19 - Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we have the right actions toward God, we will be white as snow! Back a century or so ago people would whitewash a fence. It was cheap to do but did not last long before the true colors of that fence showed through again! Jesus is ever mindful to remind us that kind of clean up and out is not real. We must receive from God Himself an internal washing that will clean our conscience and our soul! Without that cleansing we become burdened down with the weight of sin. Now you may not think that sin weights much, but it does. My experience was when I first received the Holy Spirit! I was baptized and I felt physical weight loss! I really was walking like a feather. No sadness, no guilt, just freedom! If you do not believe me attend a spirit filled congregation and ask God to deal with your heart because you want to know if what you are reading is true! He will! Just Trust your friend! Jesus Loves you!
