Family is the most important thing we have. When all is done and over with family; for the most of us, continues to remain. We are tied with the blood. From the beginning of time the family value has been a priority. Adam gave all eternity because of his spouse. If it weren’t for our families we wouldn’t be here. Adam and Eve produced cane and able and so on until you and I came along. Now, conditioning the family has always been a problem, because values are and have been changing. Family hygiene in its own definition has been degrading, but it is not the way God has intended it to be. Family need cleansing and this needs to happen through the word of God.
Ephesians 5:25-26
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
The Apostle Paul tells the church that husbands need to follow the example of Christ and the church. The church goes through a cleansing process via the word of God, and so should the house holds. Now, unless one is homeless we all at some point or another bathe and keep ourselves somewhat clean. There is a believe that water has a cleansing effect both physical and spiritual. When John came along preaching and baptizing multitudes ran to him (Lk. 3:7). And it was because of this idea of water cleansing, that people ran to John. This idea of water cleansing even infirmities was seen in Naaman’s life when he was a leper Elijah told him to wash in the Jordan and he did and was cleansed (2k.5:13). But, Naaman was really not cleansed by the waters he was cleansed by being obedient to the voice of Elijah. The proverb tells us that “the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook” (pr. 18:4). There is this washing that happens in the word of God that affects any person no matter what age. The Psalmist said that the young mad will clean his ways by the word of God (Ps. 119:9). Sin is the filth that attaches to us each day, but the word of God is what cleanses us and not like some clothes that need several washings before they get clean. The word cleans us immediately as in this leper who came to Jesus begging for Jesus to cleanse him (Mk. 1:39-42), and Jesus spoke the word and he was cleaned instantly. There is nothing that the word of God cannot clean, but we need to allow him too.
