Stop being a burned out bulb!
Christianity is not just about repentance so that you can be clean before God. The blood was sprinkled on the temple not so it could be cleaned and consecrated. The final goal for the temple of stones was not for it to be cleansed, but rather filled with the Glory. So too you, came to Christ not just to be forgiven and clean, but cleansed so that Glory could fill you up. We are like burned out bulbs that God will replace our burned-out filament and shoot His electric power to glow through us. We are a cleansed army (by the blood), ready for the power of Glory to fill and change us. If you believe and are baptized, you are clean. Don't stop there! Now ask for his Glory to fill you. You SHALL be baptized by the Holy Spirit and power. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Don't just be cleansed, be filled.
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, (Luke 4:1 NIV84)
