All our good intentions, all our good efforts, all our good works under or above the Law, none of those things can remove, take away, do away with, or abolish sin. Only by the shedding of Christ blood and only by being connected to Christ blood stream can sin die, be done away with, be removed, be cleansed, be forgiven, forgotten, and abolished. By all other means or efforts that people do to justify and to save themselves, all of it together leaves sin still at the door and fully naked and seen by Gods eyes. Good deeds cannot wash away sin, Only blood. God preached this truth from the beginning.
This is why faith in Christ and His Blood, His Death, and His Resurrection is most important above all else and above all other things.
Friends, our GOOD EFFORTS, OUR GOOD WORKS AND DEEDS can never take away or atone for sin. Sin leaves ugly stains that we cannot see with our natural eyes nor remove with natural forces or by means of natural thought and wisdom. But God certainly can see all our sin spots, stains, and blemishes, and he certainly had the wisdom to combat all the power of sin. He sent us Jesus His Son from heaven itself with the supernatural power of His Eternal Spirit mixed with flesh and blood in the womb of the virgin, so that thru the power of His eternal Spirit mixed with blood He could TAKE AWAY SIN by the blood from the sacrifice of Himself.. God fully knows that no works of natural fallen men can take away the ugly stains, spots, and blemishes of sin. That is why He sent Jesus to shed His blood to take away sin and sins stains with all its residue, even the sin of all the world it can remove thru the greatness of its atoning power.
So we work and we do good things not to save ourselves. We do good deeds not thinking to save ourselves from sin by our good deeds, but we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and in the saving grace and power of His Atoning blood for eternal redemption. He by His blood is able to save to the uttermost all who call upon His Name in faith. We work to obey the One who we know bought us with a price, with the price of His own precious blood with thanksgiving.
Lets not get confused over where our good deeds and good works fall in the redemption line up.....deno.....Ephesians 2:1-10.....deno....Jesus Is Wonderful.
