Morning — November 13 — Ephesians 5:25,26

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, — Ephesians 5:25,26True cleansing from sin comes not through human effort but through the continual application of God’s Word to our lives. Christ’s sacrificial love is the motive and the power behind every step of our sanctification. This ongoing renewal is not a burden but a gift that draws us into deeper intimacy with Him, making us fit for His presence.
