Then All Things - Luke 11:40-41

Luke 11:40-41 NASB
You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also? But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you.

Performing righteous acts on the outside does not mean salvation has taken place.  Salvation happens first in the inner man, on the inside. 

It is when the outside reflects the inside that we become clean.  God judges the heart.  This is how one can sin and still be clean. Once the body is washed, all that remains is washing the feet as we journey through this world.  The dust of the world is ever with us. 

The washing of feet means staying in the word and at the feet of Christ. By the light of that word and the abiding in Christ, we will reach our journey's end.  We will dine evermore at the table of The Lord.
