*HE CLEANSES YOU FROM ALL SINS*

_*In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14).*_

Our opening verse says in Christ Jesus we have redemption (riddance) through His blood, and then in the concluding part, it says, _*"...even the forgiveness of sins."*_ That word "even" is in parenthesis, which means it wasn't in the original text. The translators inserted it by their own prerogative, but it was wrongly applied.

The correct conjunction is the word "and": "In whom we have redemption through his blood, and the forgiveness of sins." To say "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" suggests that "we have redemption of sins through His blood, meaning the forgiveness of sins." But that's not true, because they are two different things: first, in Christ Jesus, we have our riddance or redemption, and secondly, we have our freedom from sins (forgiveness). We're free from sins.

That means you don't have to sin. You don't have to keep watching to be sure that you don't sin; rather, just keep walking in righteousness; keep walking in the light in His Word—His Word is light (Psalm 119:105). 1 John 1:7 says, _*"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."*_ This happens automatically.

As you walk in the light of God's Word, and in fellowship with other Christians, He automatically cleanses you from all sins. Sin is everywhere because man's world has been polluted. But the Lord cleanses you from all sins, including sins you didn't necessarily commit but rubbed off on you.

This was the reason they had all kinds of ceremonial "washings" in the Old Testament. If they wanted to go into the presence of God, they'd wash their hands and their feet; they had to wash all the time. But it's not so today: the blood of Jesus Christ Himself cleanses us from all sin automatically. He takes care of any sin, whether from someone else, from the environment, etc., so that you can keep walking your way through life in victory, from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

Then in John 15:3, He says, _*"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you."*_ It's the ministry of the Word to cleanse you of sin, guilt, and all unrighteousness so you can walk in perfection and excellence, producing works and fruits of righteousness.

*PRAYER OF SALVATION*
*“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”*


*PRAYER*
*Dear Father, I thank you for my new life in Christ, a life of righteousness with freedom from sin. Thank you for the continuous cleansing that comes from walking in the light of your Word. I walk in perfection and excellence, producing works and fruits of righteousness, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*
*||* *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. *||*

*||* *Romans 3:24-26 NIV* and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. *||*

*||* *Acts 13:38-39* Be it known unto you therefore, men [and] brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. *||*
