Have you ever made a huge mess?
Let's say you dropped eggs all over your countertop and then laid a raw chicken down on top of the egg; that combination is deadly.
Now let's clean the deadly mixture; we will get a cloth dampen it with warm water; is that enough to disinfect our counters, or do we just hope so?
We clean our counters and walk away, but we cannot settle in our minds, is the counters really clean.
Then we start to think about the possibility that maybe we just made things worse. We removed the eggs and chicken, but what we just smeared the contamination to the rest of the area of our counters, with our cloth? What if, now our counters and cloth are both contaminated? Wait, what did we do with the contaminated cloth? We just rinsed the cloth in our sink. Now, we cannot help but think that not only our countertops and our cloth are contaminated, but our sink is also. Our minds seem to make a bad thing worse. The more we think, the worse it gets.
This example is how we are before Salvation; we think we can fix our bad situations ourselves. We seem to believe that we can handle our big problems as well as the small ones. When in reality, we make things worse.
Think about Salvation, we are contaminated with deadly sins, and we ask Jesus Christ to Wash Us Clean and Save us, to give us Eternal Life, Save us from our surety of death.
Think about what Jesus Christ does, He washes us clean of our sins, and then puts a seal on top of us to keep us clean. Jesus Christ takes His cleansing Agent, His Blood, and washes us, He sterilzes us, and then puts a protective coating around us to keep us clean. The Blood Of Jeus Christ Washes us; The Holy Spirit Seals US Unto The Day Of Redemption. WHEN JESUS CHRIST WASHES SOMEONE CLEAN, HE WASHES THEM CLEAN FOR EVER!
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith The LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Hebrews 7:25
Wherefore HE IS ABLE ALSO TO SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST THAT COME unto GOD BY HIM, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
Now He which establisheth us with you in Christ, and HATH ANOINTED US, IS GOD; WHO HATH ALSO SEALED US, and given the earnest of The Spirit in our hearts.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit The Kingdom Of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit The Kingdom Of God. AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU: BUT YE ARE WASHED, BUT YE ARE SANCTIFIED, BUT Ye ARE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD.
Ephesians 1:13-14
In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard The Word Of Truth, The Gospel Of Your Salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were Sealed With THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE, WHICH IS THE EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION, UNTO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.
Ephesians 4:30-32
AND GRIEVE NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, EVEN AS GOD FOR CHRIST'S SAKE HATH FORGIVEN YOU.
LIVE IN THE CLEANSING FORGIVENESS OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!
