1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of JESUS, His Son, cleanseth us from all sin.
In the past 3 days we have looked at the provision of GOD through the precious Blood of JESUS. The first provision was redemption; the second, atonement; third, remission and forgiveness of sins. Now we see that the Blood of JESUS cleanses us from ALL sin.
What is the difference between remission, forgiveness and cleansing? Remission means the blotting out of sins from the past; forgiveness means blotting out sins committed now and in the future; cleansing means, taking an axe to the root of sin. Notice the change in the word "sin". Remission and forgiveness are for "sins" committed - many sins, sins upon sins. Cleansing is the elimination of the "root" of sin. Matthew 3:10 says: "and now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees; therefore, every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire". Trees, in this verse, are sins; the root is the cause of sin. Cleansing by the Blood of JESUS washes away and kills the "root" of sin so that it can no longer bring forth fruit (sins).
JESUS PAID IT ALL; ALL TO HIM I OWE. THANK YOU, LORD, FOR SAVING MY SOUL AND MAKING ME WHOLE. YOUR BLOOD WASHED ME WHITE AS SNOW, NO OTHER FOUNT I KNOW, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
