Based On: Matthew 3:12 (MSG)
He’s going to clean house—make a clean sweep of your lives. He’ll place everything true in its proper place before God; everything false he’ll put out with the trash to be burned.
Excerpt:
The word, “purge” is a transitive verb that generally includes the making free of something unwanted. The understanding is that if the unwanted presence
lingers too long it will cause damage to its host vessel. It will also likely create an intolerable stench as in the case of rotted trash or the residue of
sin.
