Question: What can wash away our sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!


Listening to this song I was reminded of the verse in Jeremiah that says:


"My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water." Jeremiah 2:13 NIV


When man rejects Jesus, God's own Son, who is the one and only way to the Father and then attempts to find peace, joy and happiness on their own, they are really digging broken cisterns (wells) unable to hold water.


Only the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins! Only the blood of Jesus can make us whole again. I am amazed by the grace of God that he would send his only Son to die on behalf of my sins. It is 100% God and 0% me and it humbles and elates me when I dwell upon it!


I am not usually this point blank in your face here in blog world. But since I firmly believe that I had no part in my salvation other than that as a recipient, I would be remiss not to Glorify God for the great work He has done.

Great six words! My tongue in cheek answer to "Six words that define my life:"

God is trying to kill me.

Not really, but it sure feels that way sometimes! (I know the spiritual answer is that He's refining me. It just FEELS like He's trying to kill me...)
