Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word,
We read the word of God and do what it says! It is why Jesus died. So we can be empowered with his Grace! His Words cleanse us and sanctifies us! It is how we become born again!

Rom 1:16¶For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the
Greek.
The gospel is the power of our salvation. We do what it says and Christ will give us grace(power) to overcome our sins and be sanctified! None of that rightely divide the word bull either. Jew and Greek!

Here is more!
Jhn 3:5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and [of] the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
If you are not born of the water or have not been cleansed by the Word of God you will not have the Truth or the Spirit and will not be allowed into the kingdom of God.
Born of Water= Cleansed by the Word of God
Born of the Spirit=Having the
truths of the
Word of God.
1Jo 5:6¶This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness,
because the Spirit is truth.
Jhn 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.
Unless you become obedient and are born again you will never have the truths or knowledge of the Word. This is truth!

wisdom of men, but in the
power of God.
1Cr 2:6¶Howbeit we
speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet
not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
But I thought nobobdy besides Christ could be perfect! Seems there is wisdom among them that achieve it!
1Cr 2:7
But we speak the
wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
1Cr 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
1Cr 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that
love him.
Who are those that love God?
1Jo 5:3
For this is the
love of God, that
we keep his commandments: and
his commandments are not grievous.
Jhn 14:15¶If ye
love me,
keep my commandments.
Let us enourage one another to overcome and change who we are. Becoming a new creation, crucifying the Flesh and being led by the spirit of truth. After all "It is written!"
1Pe 1:14 As
obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the
former lusts in your ignorance:
1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy,
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
The Will of God!
