The Blood of Jesus Cleanses us (1 John 1:7)

1 John 1:7 (NKJV)

7 But 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.

There are some stains that can easily be removed from our clothes and some that require a special solution. 

Usually, it is concocted with multiple weird and wonderful items found in the pantry as well as the cleaning cupboard mixed together. 

If you try to treat a stain with the wrong solution chances are it could get worse or permanently ruin the garment we are trying to save. 

Spiritually when we sin, it is like an indelible mark that cannot easily be removed. In times past in the old testament it may have been acceptable for a temporary period of time to cover it with a sacrificial offering of the blood of an animal. 

However, this was a temporary fix pointing to something greater. The truth is, only the blood of Jesus Christ is able to fully remove the sin from the children of God. 🙏🏾💕 #Devotional #Jesus #SimplyMichMich Click To Tweet

However, this was a temporary fix pointing to something greater. The truth is, only the blood of Jesus Christ is able to fully remove the sin from the children of God. 

Just like our illustration we can try other solutions, but we only make matters worse and the end result is we are ruined. 

The only solution for our sin is the blood of Jesus that was shed on our behalf.

Not just the sin that has been committed in the past, but every sin that we will ever commit in our entire lives. 

Judgement has already been poured out on Jesus; the spiritual payment has already been made. As far as God is concerned, He has already cleansed us by the blood of Christ Jesus. 

Now that is something to celebrate about!! This is the good news! This is the light in which every born-again Christian walks in.

This week let’s take the time to celebrate what Jesus has done for us during our devotional time with Him. 

We usually do this within our gatherings corporately (and so we should) However, there is a great value in appreciating and celebrating in the intimacy of our devotional time with our Lord God. 

This is a personal relationship with Him after all. We are not strangers; nothing is hidden from God. We can draw closer to Him, the blood of Jesus cleanses us. 

This is God’s word spoken in love. Remember The LORD our God, He is good and His mercies endure forever. May the blessings of the LORD overtake you and come upon you and His love surround you, for His glory. Have a blessed week. In Jesus Name.

Be a blessing and share this with someone who needs to hear this today.
