Jesus Christ is the purifier of the mind, spirit, and soul. 

Malachi 3:2-4

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness. “Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to the Lord, as in the days of old, as in former years.” Malachi 3:2-4

God is Holy and has absolutely zero compatibility to sin. We are human beings who have inherited sin within our nature as a result of the original sin of Adam. Therefore, God can have no part with us. In that light, who can be saved? God sent His Son Jesus Christ to be the mediator between us and God. Even then, Jesus Christ is sinless and Holy, and has no part in sin, so who was able to endure His first coming? And who was able to stand when He appeared? Those who believed in Him for the forgiveness of sin was able to endure and stand in the presence of God. Jesus is our Priest, “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:15-16

“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.  Romans 5:12, 15

Our Lord Jesus is like a firewall that protects us from the judgment of God’s Holiness against our sinful human nature. Jesus Christ is our Lawyer who stands before God the Judge on our behalf. By believing in Jesus Christ, our sin is forgiven, and He lives to make intercession for us, but rejection of Jesus Christ exposes us to God’s judgment, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 When God sees His Son Jesus Christ in us, His grace, mercy, and Salvation is poured on us for Christ’s sake.

Jesus Christ came to do the will of God, to give His life as the Lamb of God to atone for sin, “By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Hebrews 10:10 Our Lord Jesus ‘…is like a refiner’s fire and like launderers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver…” By the remission of sin, we are born-again and receive cleansing of mind, soul, and spirit.

The phrase, “He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness” refers to the ministers of the churches being sanctified through Jesus Christ. The ministry of the churches is to be through the Holy Spirit, by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and belief in God as the Creator. Even then, the true ministry is not the ministers of the churches but comes through every believer. Jesus Christ would not be a minister of a church if He was on earth today, “For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest…” Hebrews 8:4 That’s because as believers, our spirit, soul, and mind is His Church, as quoted, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…” 1 Peter 2:9 That is the true ministry, to proclaim the praises of Jesus Christ who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Sanctification will never come by honoring human beings by flattering their esteem, dignity, and self-respect. Sanctification comes by the Spirit through honoring God and His authority through Jesus Christ.

We live in a world where an atheistic entity exists that has power over physiology and is able to give us what to feel, think, do, and say. This entity wants us to feel like we are far from living a sanctified life through Jesus Christ, but we are indeed living by the grace and mercy of God, which is a free gift. The atheistic entity detests belief in God and Jesus Christ, but the Holy Spirit says to only believe that Jesus is resurrected from the dead and confess that He is Lord. The atheistic entity wants to enliven the image of the beast to live and speak through us, but the holy Spirit says to let the image of Christ live in what we say and do. Today’s culture is global and are the majority of the population as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are the faithful few walking on the narrow path that leads to eternal life.

“Why me Lord? What have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I’ve known?
Tell me, Lord what did I ever do that was worth lovin’ you for the kindness you’ve shown?
Lord help me, Jesus I’ve wasted it, so help me, Jesus I know what I am.
But now that I know that I needed you so, help me, Jesus my soul’s in your hands.
Maybe, Lord I can show someone else what I’ve been through myself on my way back to you.
Jesus, my soul’s in your hands.
[“Lord Help Me Jesus”]

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
