And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;”. Hebrews 5:8-9 KJV
Jesus teaches that if any one desires to follow him, "let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me". To make "no more provisions" to the carnal flesh "to fulfil the lusts thereof." Jesus commanded the woman accused of adultery to "Go and sin no more" after she was forgiven of her sins. The knowledge of real salvation is remission of sin. Many who profess to be Christians do not confess they are clean. That is, without sin. Believing that "he who says he has no sin is a liar". But how can this be the testimony of one who has confessed his sins and is "cleansed from all unrighteousness"? Because the word declares that Jesus "is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness", in another place, "He that is born of God does not commit sin". This is the true conversion of a sinner bound by the power of darkness, and translated into thr kingdom of God. "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Behold all things are new!" If we believe God is righteous, then we must believe that everyone born of God is righteous even as God is righteous. "What God has cleansed, call thou not unclean"
The Blood shed for many for the remission of sin, is the New Testament Blood of the Lamb manifest on the cross. The prophet John the Baptist declared of Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world!" "Upon as many as have received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God" Jesus is the Baptizer of the Holy Spirit and with fire. He purges us as branches abiding in the Vine, that we may bear more fruit unto Him in holiness.
Can we trust the word of the King of glory who declares to the tares/goats, "Depart from me, YE workers of iniquity, I never knew you!" These are the many who will say, Lord, Lord! Open unto us! But the door is shut that no man can open.
