Bible Question: what is chapter 6 verse 11 exactly saying to us? |
Bible Answer: Hi Pammy, Welcome to the Forum. 1 Cor 6.11. is informing us that when a person becomes a true Christian through saving faith in Jesus Christ three things happen to them: Firstly they are washed clean from all sin (compare John 13.10; 1 John 1.7) and made pure in God's sight. Secondly they beoome 'sanctifed ones' (1.Cor 1.2), set apart and made holy in God's eyes in Christ. Thirdly they are accounted as righteous before God in Christ (Rom 3.24-25). And all this by the working of the Spirit of God. Best wishes |
