BIG IDEA: Forgiveness gives us access; cleansing gives us intimacy.
WASHING BEFORE ENTERING
- Justification is a finished work; sanctification is an ongoing process.
- Cleansing is the ongoing work of the Spirit and the Word.
CHRIST WASHES US
- We don't need external ritual; we need internal transformation by the Spirit.
- Christ sanctifies His church through Scripture—not as facts to learn, but as water to wash.
SANCTIFICATION IS A DAILY WALK
- Sanctification requires daily renewal, not a single decision.
- Holiness isn't a penalty; it's the preparation to enjoy God forever.
