    Contributed by Michael Bates on Jan 16, 2024
     | 1,313 views

    Unrepentant sin separates us from God. He tells us to repent of our sins and to purify ourselves by spiritually washing them away through Jesus' cleansing blood. After we do that, God will forgive us. God loves us and wants to restore us so that we can be pure, clean, and holy in His sight.

    Let's all read together Isaiah 1:16-18 CSB, 16. Wash yourselves. Cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from my sight. Stop doing evil. 17 Learn to do what is good. Pursue justice.
