Your table just isn't complete without the "Saint and Sinner Wine Stopper Set."
They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people and I will be their God. Ezekiel 37:23
Curious. After Israel's exile and God reunites the people and gathers them to Him, he says they will no longer defile themselves or worship idols. Really? We know this isn't literally true. Israel, all of us, have never stopped sinning. So what does it mean? It means Christ.
The world will be reunited under the Messiah, truly. And in Christ, we will no longer sin because He will save us from all our "sinful backsliding." We cannot do it without Christ because we cannot do it and so Christ does it. lol, which is not to say so don't worry about your sin. It is to say, worry about your heart and make sure your heart receives this gift in thanks, in wonder, in action and not inaction. I, of course, am speaking to myself in all this but...he who has an ear let them hear.
Lord knows.
