><>...JESUS THE CHRIST...><> Nothing but the Blood of Jesus

When sin is considered as defilement that requires cleansing, the most straightforward affirmation is that "the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin" <1 John 1:7>. The effect of His death is to purify a conscience that has been polluted by sin. The same thought is expressed by the writer of the Book of Hebrews. He speaks of various materials that were prescribed by Israel's ceremonial law to deal with forms of ritual pollution, which was an external matter. Then he asks, "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" <Heb. 9:14>. Spiritual defilement calls for spiritual cleansing, and this is what the death of Christ has accomplished.
