22.13: Salvation is More Powerful than any Cleanser on the Market Today John 13

About a year ago, when the COVID-19, the Coronavirus became a worldwide pandemic, you couldn’t find hand sanitizer, cleansers or even toilet paper in any store. A cleanliness and sanitation paranoia enveloped the world. Even with wearing a mask and cleaning just about everything I touch, I still managed to catch a cold this week. It wasn’t COVID, I had no fever. Still, I don’t know where or how I caught it. Moreover, just like completely, trying to purify your surroundings it’s very much like you trying to purify your own soul. It’s a futile effort.

In some religions, there is a paranoia of sanctification and purification. People go through rituals like baby baptism, first communion, confirmation, confession, genuflecting, doing the sign of the cross, mindlessly chanting the rosary, but none of that cleanses your soul! Only the Salvation — given freely to us by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross — His blood — can purify us enough to allow us passage into Heaven.

Here in John chapter 13, Jesus shows us how to be humble and how to love one another. It’s a huge and important lesson we still all have to learn. Let’s dig in…

Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper as well as a special video movie depicting the Gospel of John chapter 13.

Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” ~ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬ – this is repeated 14 times in scripture. Kind of gives the idea that God wants us to pay attention.

If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…

Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.

Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
