We need to accept God’s grace, which prepares us to comprehend how our sins are forgiven and washed away. Do you know how our sins are washed away? Today, we will learn how it works. By the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are cleansed from our sins. The blood of Jesus that he shed on the cross washes away our sins.
Receiving Jesus as our savior, we become a new creation. We start to give up our old carnal natures by renewing the heart with the help of God’s word. We cannot get this new beginning with our efforts. It is God’s gift for everyone who will trust Jesus. Jesus makes us a new person when we confess our sins and repent.
In the story of the prodigal son, we can notice how God loves us and forgives us when we determine to turn from sin. The young man went to a far land after taking his property from his father. He spent all he had and found himself in a miserable situation. He decided to return to his father. His father accepted him and gave a grand party on his return. This parable gives us a lesson on how gracious our God is when we return to him from our sins.
King David was known as the man after God’s own heart, but he had committed many sins in his life. He cried for mercy from the Lord, and God washed his sins away. Thus, we can understand how great our God is when we truly repent and seek his forgiveness.
Washing away of sins is not a one-time incident but a regular process. As we walk with God, we need to ask His forgiveness to live according to His ways. This cleansing helps us to grow in our faith and become more like Christ.
