The Truth #8

Truth #8 from Lies Women Believe is that the blood of Christ is sufficient to cover all my sin. There is no sin I have ever committed and will ever commit that is not covered by Jesus's blood. 1 John 1:7 "..and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."

This doesn't diminish the significance of my sin. Instead, it should leave me broken and humble, desiring to obey Him and fear Him. Psalm 130: 3-4 "If you, O Lord, kept a record of sin, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, therefore you are feared." Romans 3: 23-25 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in his blood." This is such glorious news. Even though I am a sinner, Christ has already purified me.
