It is during these next couple of weeks and months that the Bride of Messiah must be on guard to keep herself ‘Pure and Unspotted” in the face of mass challenges.
Political turmoil, societal division, continued elements of a pandemic is to name only a few. I hear the Lord saying “This is a time my Bride will shine or a time She shall become defiled.”
The teachings of Jesus are clear: “Come out from the world.” Yes, we live in it, work in it, and vote in it. As we may be surrounded by the muck, we cannot and we must not allow the defilement of the world to tarnish the reputation and witness of Jesus. It cannot and must not tarnish the representation of His Bride!
Now is a time to walk in the Fruits of the Spirit. Now is the time to display the character of Jesus. Boldness; tempered with love. Righteousness; seasoned in long suffering.
“If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” James 1:26-27
