“How much sin will Christ’s blood wash away?” inquired a deeply anxious sinner of a Christian friend. His soul was upon the border of despair, his sins were before him mountains high, he longed to be saved, but feared there could be no hope for him. “How much sin will the blood of Jesus cleanse away?” replied his friend. “ALL sin, for God says in His Word, ‘The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.’” (1 John 1:77But 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. (1 John 1:7).)
ALL sin, every sin. Not one left out, all cleansed away, all gone.
See those rows of figures upon that slate; they form a sum representing millions and millions. Regard these millions of figures as the number of your sins, and now take a sponge and cleanse the slate. Where are the figures now? They are gone, no trace of them is left; so the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us who believe from all sin; not one is left for God to view.
How much sin will the blood of Jesus cleanse away? ALL sin, “all sin,” replies God’s own word.
