Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it,that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word,
that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
This is a beautiful verse of instruction to husbands and to the rest of us it's also valuable because it shows how Christ gave Himself for the church, and how he sanctifies and cleanses us by the washing of water by the Word. As we run this race the contaminants of this world get on us. Different shows, music, associations, movies, books, magazines and conversations all have the ability to get us "dirty."
Jesus said that He is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. He says that we should be holy and without blemish. The Word washes away all the filth off us for sure, and it's necessary to read the Bible daily because no matter what-- we get exposed to dirt daily. Whether we expose ourselves through disobedience or just happen to be sitting next to somebody who is just gossiping away we get dirty. God knew that and that's why He gave us His Word and His Spirit! Both will keep us nice and clean as we start each day and finish each day with a good washing. Getting dirty is unavoidable---cleaning ourselves daily CRITICAL!!! (-:
