Without Spot or Wrinkle

MESSAGE FROM MY DADDY IN THE LORD PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
EPHESIAN CHP 5 VS 17-30.

The church, that is, the congregation of all born again believers is the Bride of Jesus Christ Eph 5:25. Almost invariably, when a man chooses a bride, he chooses someone who is closest to him in manners, attributes, aspirations, and ways of doing things because only birds of the same feathers flock together. Amos 3:3. The lord Jesus Christ is holy, spotless and without blemish, hence, his bride must be without spot or wrinkle too.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE SPOTLESS

  1. To be spotless, believers must understand fully the will of God for their lives.
  2. Their mouths should be filled with praises unto God always.
  3. Believers should submit themselves to Christ.
  4. Believers must be wash and be cleansed in the word of God.
  5. They must love the lord.

Christians must be and remain spotless for the following reasons:

  1. He/she is a child of God. John 1:12
  2. He or She is a bride of Christ. Eph. 5:29-30
  3. Nothing unholy will enter into heaven where the weeding between Christ and his bride will take place.
  4. God our Father is perfect and spotless. He commands us too to be perfect. Matt. 5:48
  5. Believers are part of Christ and they must remain spotless. Ephesians 5:29-30

SPOTLESS IN WHAT?

  1. Believers must be spotless in all things.
  2. They must be spotless in words. James 3:2
  3. Their words must be YES for YES and NO for No
  4. Liars are murderers and sorcerers who are hell bound. REV. 21:8
Sort:  

No believer can be spotless... Spotless means perfect and none is perfect except GOD.
That is why we ask for HIS forgiveness everyday...

We are all working towards perfection... No man is without sin, its not easy to be spotless... I pray we should always be doers of his word and not hearers only...

You right
