Laundry is one of those Sisyphean tasks (always there). It never seems to be all done. I mean you can work all day, get it all washed, dried, and even ironed, and when you crawl into bed the laundry hamper will contain the dirty cloths you wore during the day. That's the way it is with Laundry.
I like to compare the laundry with salvation. I mean when does laundry become laundry? Dirty cloths in a hamper are dirty cloths in a hamper, but the dirty cloths become 'laundry' as soon as there is the intent to clean the cloths. Likewise, "To be saved" begins with intent to come to the LORD. And just as the laundry is not complete until the job is done, neither is our salvation 'done' until the Day of Christ Jesus. So one way we could look at our salvation is that it is found in a life of repentance: of constantly bringing our fouled and broken hearts to the LORD for healing and restoration. Doing the spiritual laundry.
"...being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"
Philippians 1.6 New King James Version
