Some Toxins are Only Purified by Gold

Michael Wong lives in a world of high science. His walls are filled with degrees from CalTech and MIT, and is a tenured professor at Rice University in Houston, Texas. At thirty five years old, that is quite a resume. But really, there are those that have attained that sort of honor before him.
So what makes him special? He was given problem three years ago of trying to clean up a very common, but highly polluting substance called TCE. It is associated with a number of maladies that range from the mundane to the life threatening. You probably have been exposed to it yourself.
Previous attempts at cleaning it up merely moved it from one place to the other. The cure was not practical, because it was switching the TCE from one place to the other and those that were cleaning it were being exposed to the stuff itself.
Wong decided to approach the cleaning from the molecular level, and he found that one very precious metal can cleanse the TCE. Combine gold with another rare substance and you have a cleansing agent one hundred times more potent than what you have had in the past.
It seems to me that Mr. Wong got it right. It does take gold to remove some things in life, TCE is the least of them. Through the example of the tabernacle, Jesus was typified in the acacia wood of the Ark of the Covenant. That wood was covered with gold, and it was only when the sacrificial lamb was slain and its blood placed on the Mercy Seat of the Ark did the sins go away.
It took the death of Jesus. It took the burial of Jesus . It took the resurrection of Jesus. But it took that application of the precious blood at the throne for sins to be atoned for once and for all.
That is why it is not enough to simply repent. To stop here circumvents the process.
That is why it is not enough to simply be baptized in the name of Jesus. To stop here results in partial salvation. Although it is clear that the ONLY way that sins are washed away is via baptism in his name.
That is why we must continue on to receive the Holy Ghost, to complete the salvation process.
There is redemption to be had. . .It is not complicated. But it is very specific.
We must be in his likeness of the death, burial and resurrection.
Our sins are as toxic as toxic can be, and it takes a little gold from the man who was God robed in flesh to save us from our sins.
