Washing By The Blood Of Jesus

God's desire is that no one perishes, but some of us don’t walk in the way of salvation. 
The first step is to know the revelation that Jesus died for you and through that you are saved. Faith first, then it manifests in the natural realm. 
The second step is to count yourself dead to sin and alive to God.

In Ephesians 2:1-7, we see how Jesus has taken us out from our sinful nature and placed us in the heavenly realms spiritually
In Colossians 3:1-10, Paul instructs us to always think (focus) of heavenly things because that is where we really are in our new life!

We learned the past few days about sin and sins through the book of Romans. 
Sins are those that we individually make knowingly for which we are responsible. Sin is the sinful nature that came to us through Adam's sin. Sin nature was put to death on the cross, and our sins are washed clean by the blood of Jesus. 

If we understand right, true repentance is a 180 turn and need only be done once. However, when we sin further, we need to confess them to God. Is anyone able to confess each and every sin committed? It is not possible but we must understand our daily sins and also that the ransom for it is the blood of Jesus that makes us clean. 

1 John 1:7-10 “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, purifies us from all[b] sin.

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.”

Revelation 7:14 “And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
Robes denote our life. Normally a robe dipped in blood gets stained by the blood but the speciality of the blood of the lamb is that it makes white the sinful life that is dipped in it. Our life is cleansed from all sins.

Revelation 22:14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city”

The blood of the lamb of God is used as the detergent daily to wash our sins. Jesus did what no one else could do for us on the cross.

Romans 6:13-23
13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
Paul instructs us to live a life offered to God (consecrated to God) and righteousness; not to sin. This is the next step!
