JESUS’ BLOOD KEEPS ON CLEANSING YOU
|
During the day, the devil may whisper in your
head, “You cannot go into God’s presence because you have not been reading your
Bible and serving in church.” Or he will tell you that it is because of the sin
which you have just committed.
The devil will always make you feel that you
are not qualified or clean enough to go near God. But the truth is, regardless
of how you feel and what you have done, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us
from all sin.
In the original Greek text, the tense for the
word “cleanses” denotes a present continuous action. This means that once you
are a believer, the blood of Jesus Christ keeps on cleansing you from every
sin!
So you can rest knowing that you are always
forgiven in this continuous “wash cycle” of Jesus’ blood. Because you are
continually cleansed, you are always in the light. Of course, you will fail
here and there, but you are still in the light because the blood is
continuously washing you!
The Bible says that we overcome the devil, the
accuser of our brethren, by the blood of the Lamb (see Revelation 12:11). If
you have sinned, remind yourself that Jesus’ blood keeps on cleansing you from
every sin—24 hours a day, seven days a week—and move on with God! The devil
cannot defeat you when your faith is in the blood that cleanses you
continuously.
Some Christians are guilt-ridden because their
consciousness of their sins condemns them. Although Jesus’ blood continuously
cleanses them, they would rather hold on to their past mistakes and feel bad
about them, thinking that they are being humble and holy when they do this. But
this is nothing more than self-righteousness.
My friend, the eternal blood of Jesus Christ
offers you eternal redemption
and everlasting righteousness. Accept the payment of His blood as the final,
perfect and only sacrifice you will ever need!
