Submitting to God — Part Two

What did James mean when he encouraged his readers and hearers to wash their hands? Alistair Begg unpacks this Old Testament image, which shows our need for cleansing from sin. James gives this command directly to believers; therefore, we cannot be passive and expect the Holy Spirit to fulfill it apart from our involvement. If we truly believe that Jesus is redeeming us, then we will take seriously His commands to be holy.
