~ 6 Biblical Concepts of
Christian Feet ~
A root
meaning of the Biblical word “sanctified” is “set apart.” Are your feet—your actions—set apart for God?
Feet Placed On Solid Ground (salvation) ~ “I waited patiently
for the Lord; and He inclined to
me, and heard my cry. He also brought me
up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth Praise to our God; many will see it and fear,
and will trust in the Lord” (Psalm 40:1-3).
Feet Cleansed By The Word (communion) ~ “Peter said to Him,
‘You shall never wash my feet!’ Jesus
answered him, ‘If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.’ Simon Peter said to Him, ‘Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands
and my head!’ Jesus said to him, ‘He
who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are
clean’” (John 13:8-10a).
Feet Kept By Divine Power (preservation) ~ “For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He has set the world upon
them. He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be
silent in darkness” (1 Samuel 2:8-9).
Feet Wearing Footwear of Peace (the Gospel) ~ “Stand therefore,
having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of
righteousness, and having shod your feet
with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield
of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked one. And take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful
to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” (Ephesians 6:14-18).
Feet Running With The Gospel (service) ~ “How then shall
they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom
they have not heard? And how shall they
hear without a preacher? And how shall
they preach unless they are sent? As it
is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel
of peace,
who bring glad tidings of good things!’” (Romans 10:14-15).
Feet Crushing Satan (victory) ~ “For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I
want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. And the
God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with you. Amen” (Romans 16:19-20).
Are your
feet sanctified for the Master’s use?
