"The blood of Jesus unfailingly cleanses the believer from his sin at all times. There could be no sin that the blood does not cover, confessed or not confessed. Though our sins were taken care of in the cross of Christ, and by His blood being spilled for us, it is applied immediately in time to every sin we commit the nano-second we commit it."
I don't know about you but I grow weary listening to some of the false teaching out there on forgiveness. One of the persistent lies is that Christ only forgives sin that we confess. Elliff's quote here dispels that notion. I love the comment about the fact that Christ's blood is "applied immediately in time to every sin we commit the nano-second we commit it." It is pure arrogance to believe that you could confess every sin you ever commit. It is pure ignorance to believe that you are aware of every sin you commit. The standards of God's laws are such that we commit sin habitually and prolifically. God's law is in place simply to demonstrate to us that we are indeed world class sinners who need a world class Saviour.
It is a great quote from Jim Ellif but it is pure truth from God's Word. Do you need nano-second forgiveness? Trust Jesus.
7But 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.
1 John 1:7
King James Version (KJV)
7But 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.
