The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
D.L. MOODY
You may pile up your sins till they rise like a dark mountain, and then multiply them by ten thousand, taking into account those you cannot think of: and after you have tried to enumerate all the sins you have ever committed, just let me give you one verse, “The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin,” and that mountain will melt away.
ERWIN LUTZER
We all have within us a sin factory, manufacturing truckload after truckload of sin. Jesus said that evil thoughts (stubbornness, self-will, murder, violence, revenge, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witnesses, and slander, to name just a few), exist within the human heart (Mark 7:21). The seeds are there in all of us. What an indictment!
Yet, paradoxically, we read, “Have confidence to enter the holy places [the very throne room of God!] by the blood of Jesus” (Hebrews 10:19). That means there is no sin you can ever commit, no sin so great that could devalue the blood of Christ. I frequently receive letters from people who think they have committed the unpardonable sin. True, there is an unpardonable sin, but it is always committed by unbelievers who say no to God too long and too often. It is not that they cannot be forgiven, but they are determined to not accept God’s forgiveness.
To put it clearly: The issue is never the greatness of our sin, but rather the wonder of the gift of righteousness given to us when we believe the gospel. The blood gives us the right to be called children of God (see John 1:12).
