Weekly Pursuit – Week 1 of April
Verses:
Eph. 5:26 “That He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of the water in the word.”
Excerpts:
Today God is in His word. This word contains the reality of God, which is God Himself. God Himself as this reality has a special function, which is to sanctify us. Those of us who read God’s Word frequently have this experience. Whether or not we understand the Bible, as long as we read a little of God’s Word in the morning and consider this Word a little during the day, we are sanctified.
When we read the Lord’s Word again and again, all the worldly matters in us are removed, and we are cleansed and sanctified. God’s word brings in God’s reality, and in us it produces a special effect, which is to sanctify us and to deliver us from this mixed world so that we may be separated unto God.
The world is very mixed. But God’s word of reality sanctifies us and makes us pure. The result of this purity is holiness. The more a person is in the word of God, the purer he becomes. A man who is not in God’s word but is in the world is complicated and impure. However, if we have God’s word within, this word with God’s reality will do a sanctifying work within us to separate us unto God, thus making us pure. Satan is the prince of the mixed-up world, but our God is the God of purity. The word of reality sanctifies us and delivers us from the mixed-up world, turning us back to the purity in God. In this way we are one. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 2, “The Oneness and the One Accord according to the Lord’s Aspiration and the Body Life and Service according to His Pleasure,” pp. 71-72)
