Part 5 - Being Made Clean By the Blood of Jesus Christ

God sent His Son Jesus into the world to save those who would listen to Him (John 3:16-17). Jesus allowed Himself to be crucified on the cross, as the sacrificial lamb sent to be slaughtered for every sin in the world. All our sins were placed on innocent Jesus so that we could get His righteousness through faith (Isaiah 53:4-6). When you abide in Jesus, and He abides in you, you are washed clean by His blood that was shed for you. What about those who choose not to be made clean by the blood of Jesus?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he took up our pain

and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God,

stricken by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,

he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

each of us has turned to our own way;

and the Lord has laid on him

the iniquity of us all.
