1 John 1:7 7But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
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. (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!
