How Does God Cleanse Us Christians?

When we accept Christ we may have much of this world with us.  That depends upon what we have said before we have been saved.  If we have lived a wicked life God has a lot to remove from us.

But God changes us believers.  God for one thing, prunes us (John 15:1-11).  The word prune means to cut off the vine with pruning hooks.  It depends on how much of the vine is pruned (Isa. 18:5).  For the vine to produce many grapes the vine needs to be pruned.  To prune is to cut off many limbs.

This cleanses us saints healthily.  By that I mean God removes all curse words.  That may take time.  God convicts us that those words are wrong and we need to stop using them.  He may embarrass us before some others and we stop using some words.  Some times we may think some bad words, and God may convict us of those words.  We must cease using them.

God makes us feel guilty when we use those words.  It depends upon how guilty we feel when we use them.  Over time God will remove those words from our vocabulary.

We need to confess our guilt to God when we use bad words.  The more we confess them the more quickly we will stop using them.  That may take some time.  Don't give up.  God will cleanse your vocabulary.

God may just stop the use of some bad words.  Other times God may, as I said above, deal with us so severely that he will purge us of them.  At any rate, God wants to clean our language so clean that we don't have to worry about what we say.  Our vocabulary is going to be clean.
