The garment of righteousness that we receive from God when we repent and are admitted into the kingdom of God can be stained with sin. When it gets stained does that mean that we no longer belong to God’s kingdom? No. When it is stained with sin we repent of the sin, confess it and we (and our garments of righteousness) are washed in the Blood of Jesus Christ. Please note that it is only those who keep their garments white that will be raptured by the Lord.
The time we live in is characterized by different doctrinal deceptions. Many are busy serving God but they are not worshipping in Spirit and in truth. It is only those who worship according to God’s standard that will be accepted. There is need for us to constantly examine ourselves so that we will not be led astray.
Jesus Christ’s heart yearns for the salvation of those who are lost. During His earthly ministry He showed a very strong passion for the need of sinners to be saved to the extent that He was accused of eating and drinking with sinners.
God is Spirit and He is the Word too. If you need the abiding presence of God you must have the word of God inside of you. He does not just abide in us through His Spirit but also through His Word.
