Think about one caring mother preparing her son for school. She make sure to bathe him good and that his clothes neat and clean. This one can make him healthy and make other people to see that his parents taking good care of him.

When we clean, it can benefit us and make other people to praise Jehovah.

1. How we can be physically clean?

Jehovah tell us: “You must be holy.” (1 Peter 1:16) To be holy we must be physically and morally clean. We can be physically clean by taking bath everyday, by washing our clothes, cleaning our house, and cleaning anything like our car, or motor bike. We can also help to clean our Kingdom Hall. When we always clean, it can make people to praise Jehovah.—2 Corinthians 6:3, 4.

2. To be clean, what some of the bad things we must not do?

The Bible encourage us to “cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit.” (2 Corinthians 7:1) So we must try hard not to do anything that will spoil our body or the way we can think. The thing them we thinking on must make Jehovah happy, so we must try our best not to be thinking on bad-bad things. (Psalm 104:34) We must try hard to always say good things.—Read Colossians 3:8.

What else can make us not to be physically and morally clean? Some thing them can harm our body. So we must not use thing them like cigarette and snuff. And we must not take in drugs. When we do this thing them, we will be alright in our body and we will show that we respect the gift of life. We must try hard to be morally clean by not doing thing them like playing with our private parts and looking at naked man and naked woman pictures. (Psalm 119:37; Ephesians 5:5) It can be hard to stop this kind na bad habit them. But Jehovah can help us to stop them.—Read Isaiah 41:13.
