The Blood Of The Lamb Cleanses All Sin

1st Peter 1:18-19, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”

There is no sin or evil (planned sin) so great that God won't forgive you dear reader. If you can imagine it, God can forgive it! Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” God invites all humanity to reason with Him. That is, the LORD is a reasonable God. He knows that we are mere flesh made from the dust of their earth. Psalms 103:14, “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.”

God desires to forgive all men. 2nd Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” God desires for every sinner to repent (change their mind) from unbelief to trust Christ to be saved. The blood of Jesus is the only thing that can cleanse our sins away. Revelation 1:5, “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.”

From Genesis to Revelation, the theme of the inspired Word of God is the precious blood of Jesus that cleanses all our sins away. From the blood of the innocent animal that God killed to provide skins of clothing to cover the sinful shame of Adam and Eve, to the saints whose robes are washed by the blood of the Lamb in the book of Revelation, we see that the blood of Jesus is the only sure remedy for sin. 1st John 1:7, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

A counterfeit gospel is being preached from nearly every pulpit today which requires something from YOU, instead of focusing on what CHRIST has already done through Calvary's cross to pay our dent of sin. The true gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU. If salvation is truly by grace, then you don't need to start or stop anything to be saved. Eternal life is a free gift from God (Romans 6:23).

Please don't believe any lying pastor who says you must “repent of your sins” to get to Heaven, because you won't find any such teaching in the inspired King James Bible. Jesus shed His blood on Calvary's cross 2,000 years ago to pay for our sins, and then ascended into Heaven and sprinkled that shed blood upon the Mercy Seat in the presence of the Father on our behalf (Hebrews 9:12, 22-24; 12:24).

In the Old Testament, the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in Exodus 12:7 and 13, “And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. ...And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” It wasn't enough for the Jews to kill the Passover lamb, the lamb's blood had to be applied to the house's doorposts and lintel (the plate above the door). The blood had to be applied!

Pastor John MacArthur (1939-2025) wickedly taught that Jesus' blood soaked into the ground at the cross and never made it to Heaven. Mr. MacArthur is a dirty liar! According to the Word of God, the blood had to be applied to the heavenly Mercy Seat. Hebrews 9:12, “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”

In The MacArthur Study Bible, the foolish incompetent pastor Dr. MacArthur errantly teaches that the word “blood” should be translated “death.” Dear reader, if God meant “death” then He would have said “death,” but He said “blood.” God said what He meant, and He meant what He said! Jesus applied His literal, liquid, blood to the Mercy Seat in Heaven.

When you hear umpteen preachers foolishly saying that “It was finished” on the cross, those preachers don't know their Holy Bible very well.

John 19:28-30, “After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” It couldn't be more plain to see from this passage of Scripture that when Jesus said, “It is finished,” He was referring to all of the Messianic Bible prophecy concerning Himself, and not to His work of redemption.

Christ had not yet even died, let alone be buried and resurrected, which three elements comprise “the gospel” by which we are saved if we believe it (Romans 1:16). So, redemption simply could not yet have been finished. So many pastors get this wrong! Christ's work of redemption was finally finished when He sprinkled His blood upon the heavenly Mercy Seat in the presence of God the Father.

Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus 

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What Is So Bad About Easy Believism?

2nd Corinthians 11:3-4, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”

The inspired Word of God (i.e., the King James Bible) plainly talks about the “simplicity that is in Christ.” The Bible does not mince words, it is simple to be saved. In the Greek that means it is easy to go to Heaven.

Jesus likened getting saved to the ease of looking at an object (John 3:14-16).

Jesus likened getting saved to the ease of drinking some water (John 4:13-14).

Jesus likened getting saved to the ease of eating some bread (John 6:35).

Jesus likened getting saved to the ease of walking through a door (John 10:9).

Nowhere are we taught in the inspired Scripture that it is hard, difficult or a process to be born again. The new birth is the free gift of God. It is instantaneous, irrevocable and permanent.

The only people criticizing the truth of 'Easy Believism' are those hellbound heretics who fail to understand God's simple plan of salvation.

Beware of anyone who speaks evil of Easy Believism, for it is 100% biblical!!! John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

Are We Eternally Saved By Committing To Christ?

John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

Jesus promises that anyone who believes in Him ~hath~ eternal life. Nothing more is necessary, required or permitted in God's simple plan of salvation.

The repentance (Greek noun–metanoia: “change of mind”) that brings eternal life is changing your mind about the sin of unbelief in Jesus.

Pastor Bob Gray Sr. correctly preaches:

“Repentance means to change your mind—change your mind—change your mind about how you want to get to Heaven to what God says you've got to do to get to Heaven. If you've got to repent of all your sins, you're still headed for Hell tonight.” —Pastor Bob Gray Sr., a quote from the awesome MP3 sermon, 'Why You Should Be A Part Of A Growing Church'

Christian author Michael Patrick Bowen states in his excellent book titled, “I NEVER KNEW YOU,” on page 114...

“Repent, as Christ meant it to be in terms of salvation, means to change your mind from trusting in what you can do for God to trusting only in what He can do for you.” —Michael Patrick Bowen, a quote from the awesome book, “I NEVER KNEW YOU” (p. 114)

Excellent! As you can see, these men fully understand that God's simple plan of salvation ~does not~ require turning away from your sinful behavior to get to Heaven, which would constitute works. The only change of mind concerning sin that you need to have to be saved is to acknowledge that you are a guilty sinner (Romans 3:19-20). That is, you need to know what you are being saved from, which is the penalty of your sins (Romans 6:23). And you must repent (change your mind) to acknowledge that Jesus is the only Savior to trust Him.

Consider the following quote by the faithful man of God, Pastor Harry Ironside (1876-1951):

"Repentance is the recognition of my sinnership — the owning before God that I am as vile as He has declared me to be in His holy Word." —Pastor Harry Ironside, 'Except Ye Repent,' chapter 3

Evangelist Alexander Marshall (1846-1928) correctly writes:

“When God calls on you to 'repent, and believe the Gospel,' He wishes you to lay aside your wrong thoughts, and believe the glad tidings that He proclaims to you. Formerly you may have imagined that you were required to feel very sorry before being saved. Change your mind. You may have supposed you must first 'feel' some great change in order to know you were saved. Change your mind. First believe in God's great love to you, as revealed in His gospel, and you will KNOW that you have eternal life (John 5:24).” [emphasis added] —Evangelist Alexander Marshall; “God's Way Of Salvation,” chapter 25: “I Have Not Repented Enough”

Yes, that is excellent doctrine! Alexander Marshall is 100% correct! Yet, some unlearned heretical person changed his tract, completely removing the preceding section on repentance from the work. Brother Marshall plainly says that sinners are saved by BELIEVING THE GOSPEL, that is, he says, “to lay aside your wrong thoughts [Repentance], and believe the glad tidings [Gospel] that He proclaims to you.”

“Repenting of sins” in order to be eternally saved is ~NOWHERE~ commanded in Scripture. You must repent (change your mind) from unbelief to trust Christ instead; not change your behavior as a requirement to be saved. The phrase "repent of your sin" is not found in the inspired King James Bible.

Repenting of your sins is not part of what saves anyone. That is salvation by human good works. Also, “committing your life to Christ,” (from false prophet Billy Graham) a.k.a. dedicating your life to discipleship, has NOTHING WHATSOEVER do with being saved. Salvation comes ONLY from believing the GOOD NEWS of Christ crucified, buried and risen the third day. 1st Thessalonians 4:14, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.”

Sanctification (growing in grace, love, holiness and fellowship) is the “fruit” produced by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Our salvation is eternally and irrevocably secure. That is, our POSITION is forever settled at the time of salvation. It is Christ, and not we ourselves, who lives the Christian life THROUGH US (Galatians 2:20), but only if we will yield to His written Word day by day in obedience (2nd Corinthians 10:5-6). This is walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:25).

Satan's Modern Bible Versions Butcher 2nd Corinthians 11:3

2nd Corinthians 11:3-4, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”

The inspired Word of God plainly talks about the “simplicity that is in Christ.” That means it is easy to get to Heaven. There is nothing complicated about God's simple plan of salvation.

Take another close look at what the King James Bible says in 2nd Corinthians 11:3, and then let's compare it to the New International Version (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), Easy-To-Read Version (ERV), Christian Standard Bible (CSB), Authorized Standard Version (ASV), Good News Translation (GNT), Living Bible (TLB), and the Amplified Bible (AMP):

KJB - But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

NIV - But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

ESV - But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

ERV - But I am afraid that your minds will be led away from your true and pure following of Christ. This could happen just as Eve was tricked by that snake with his clever lies.

CSB - But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may be seduced from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

ASV - But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ. 

GNT - I am afraid that your minds will be corrupted and that you will abandon your full and pure devotion to Christ—in the same way that Eve was deceived by the snake's clever lies 

TLB - But I am frightened, fearing that in some way you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to our Lord, just as Eve was deceived by Satan in the Garden of Eden.

AMP - But I am afraid that, even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his cunning, your minds may be corrupted and led away from the simplicity of [your sincere and] pure devotion to Christ.

Do you see dear reader how Satan's evil minions have dishonestly changed the emphasis from the simplicity of the gospel, to the simplicity of our pure devotion to Christ? What evil.

We know that the Apostle Paul is talking about the gospel because after the phrase “the simplicity that is in Christ,” in verse 4 he warns the church at Corinth about three dangerous falsehoods:

1. Another Jesus
2. Another spirit
3. Another gospel

The “simplicity” that is in Christ is that you can be saved by just believing the biblical account (the Good News) that Jesus is the Christ who died on a cross to pay for our sins, He was buried, and three days later He physically resurrected from the dead. This is “the gospel” according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-6, by which all who BELIEVE IT are saved (Romans 1:16).

In sharp contrast, the Devil's modern Bible perversions change the context to emphasize the simplicity of our sincere and pure devotion to Christ. Dear reader, no amount of sincerity or purity of devotion to Christ has ever saved anybody! We see this truth in Matthew 7:21-23. Those false prophets followed Christ with devotion, calling Him “Lord, Lord.” They boasted of having done “many wonderful works” in Jesus' name.

For the modern incompetent translators to wrest “the simplicity that is in Christ” to refer to one's devotion to Christ, instead of emphasizing the accuracy of the gospel and the doctrine of Christ is gross theological incompetence! Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) was so right: “If you've seen one Westcott and Hort Bible, you've seen 'em all.” Dr. Hyles said that because all of the modern English Bible revisions share the SAME corruptions. Case in point is the eight corrupt Satanic Bible versions that I just quoted to you. Only the inspired King James Bible gets it right!!!

The two different conveyed meanings are drastically two worlds apart. This is why I continually warn everyone to steer clear of the Devil's counterfeit Bible revisions, each and every last one of them. Remember, Satan is a beautiful liar!
