January 15, 2023: Cleansed Through The Blood

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7, ESV)

Cleansed by the blood of the Lamb, God’s dear Son is one of the most preached messages in the body of Christ, and rightfully so! Pause for a moment and enjoy your God-given purity. The blood of Jesus did the work of cleansing in your heart. As the hymn says, “What can wash away my sin, nothing but the blood of Jesus! What can make me whole again, nothing but the blood of Jesus!”  That blood has washed away all of your past sins; celebrate! That blood covers all of your future sins; celebrate! That blood washes you right now; celebrate! 

If you have any unconfessed sin, bring it into the Light. When you bring your sin into the Light, you are walking in the Light. When you are walking in the Light, you have fellowship with other believers because everyone can identify with each other. We had the same problem, sin, and we found the same cure, the blood of Jesus!

What is clean is transformed to have fellowship with God. “O’ the blood of Jesus, it washes white as snow!” “There is power, wonder-working power in the blood of the Lamb.” Praise God! He made a way for us to fellowship with each other and Him! Only the blood of Jesus, the Son of God, can cleanse like this!
