Blood Cleansing Power

Verse of the month 

"After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished,

that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, ‘I thirst.”  Now there was

set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar,

and put it upon hyssop, and put it to His mouth.  When Jesus

therefore had received the vinegar, He said, ‘It is finished’

and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost.”

(John 19:28-30 KJV)

Blood Cleansing Power

When we shop for something to clean our homes, garages, work spaces and more we want the most powerful cleaning agent our money can buy.  It has to do more than take away surface dirt but must be able to get down into the crevices, reaching the tiniest particles and removing them completely.

If we find such a remarkable product no doubt we’ll continue to buy it the rest of our lives.  After all, living clean is important right?

Unlike being able to wash away outward dirt and grime with a bottled solution, the deep sin in our hearts cannot be scrubbed away with manmade materials.  The only thing that can keep our hearts continually scrubbed and clean of sin is the blood cleansing power of Jesus Christ.

The Bible tells us that the way to live continuously clean from all unrighteousness is to admit that we have sinned and confess it to God.  It’s something that we have to do on a regular basis – “continuously” in order to be in right standing with the Lord.

“If we (freely) admit that we have sinned and confess our sins,

He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and

will forgive our sins (dismiss our lawlessness) and (continuously)

cleanse us from all unrighteousness (everything not in conformity

to His will in purpose, thought, and action).

(1 John 1:9 AMP)

Every day we wash up to keep our flesh clean, but we also need to do the same spiritually.  Only the blood cleansing power of Jesus can take away the sins we have committed in this world.

No matter what you have done, confess your sins to God in prayer and keep yourself clean on the inside as well as the rest of you.
