He Took My Sins Away

 

1 John 1:7

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Titus 2:14

He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

The Amplified Bible reads it this way:

Who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good.

Anyone can know this wonderful blessing of salvation through Jesus Christ. We just need to place our faith in His Name and live a life of holiness through His Holy Spirit. It won't be easy to live a Christ-filled life at times, but it will definitely be worth it.

The psalmist wrote, knowing that God saves, but not yet having seen The Christ, "Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin." Psalm 51:2.

Isaiah knew he was in the presence of The Holy God, and recognized his own sins insomuch that God was able to cleanse him from all unrighteousness with a hot coal from His own ever-burning heavenly altar: "Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” Isaiah 6:5-7.

In this age of the church, The New Testament age, we read that Christ died for all sinners. That's me and that's you. That's the sinners who died under the old covenant (in the Old Testament), too. Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Hebrews 10:10 "By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

Hebrews 7:24, 25 "But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood. Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them."

Hebrews 2:9 "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone."

I pray that you know this Amazing Grace which is only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross; that you follow Him in life and allow God's Holy Spirit to have His way in you. Even more so than I have.
