Do we realize that we have been cleansed from all our sins? We were washed. We were forgiven. The blood did not do a half work. Even the disciples had to be told about this in clear terms by Jesus in John 15. Now the fact that we were washed did not mean we were perfected. The church is confused about being cleansed and being perfected. We have many hidden faults. But our slate needs to be clean. Whatever is exposed needs to be wiped away. We need to work with our sins which is external and with our flesh which is internal.
However we have attitudes inside that would never be exposed unless we are abiding in Jesus. Our holiness needs to be perfected. That is why we are exhorted to be cleansed from defilement of flesh AND SPIRIT (2Cor 7:1)
P.S. Sorry for the gap. Was away in Orissa to be with the persecuted brethren.
