Faith in the Blood

There are a few Christians remaining strong in the Lord and in the power of his might who still believe the blood shed for the remission of sins cleanses one from all unrighteousness making a wretched sinner into a new creature cleansed from all iniquity. They call it sinless perfection. As a few grow in grace that sin may be quenched by the Spirit through crucifying the flesh, few want to go there, ie the cross. As one suffers loss for the sake of righteousness, one is made a gazing stock for ridicule. As the mockers jeered at Jesus, If you be the Christ, come down from the cross and we will believe.

Dare one say they are clean? Not without doubtful disputations.

So we who are a very small remnant, press on towards the mark of the high calling. Leaving behind the children in the marketplace wallowing in the mire of vain philosophies and traditions of carnal men.

Because iniquity abounds, the love for holiness has waxed cold. The kingdom of God and the righteousness of Christ is not sought after. It is abhorrent to the flesh. There is therefore no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus who walk after the Spirit. But to be carnally minded is spiritual death. Eye has not seen nor ear heard from the carnal mind what the Spirit is saying to the churches. For the carnal mind is enmity against God. But to be spiritually minded is life and peace
