IT IS A WASHING OF CONSCIOUSNESS

The sanctifying and cleansing of the Church in Ephesians 5:25-26, is sometimes misunderstood that the Church is so full of sin and Christ is washing the Church from sin through the preaching against sin. That may do something but will definitely not unveil the Christness of the Church because as far as sin is concerned, the Church is washed and sanctified in His name by the Spirit. Get it straight, when it comes to sin, Christians just need to awake to their righteousness in Christ. But though exactly Christ, righteous, holy and so on in spirit reality, many Christians still just know and think of themselves as humans. This huge debris of human consciousness is the dirt that is covering their true divine nature. This is the kind of washing that unveils the church. It is a washing of consciousness, not sin.
