How can I be cleansed before God?

Answered in 1 source

You can only be cleansed by the will of Christ, through His blood, and by hearing His Word.

Being cleansed before God requires divine action. First, Jesus must will our cleansing, as shown in His interaction with the leper, who acknowledged Christ's power to cleanse (Mark 1:40-41). Secondly, it is through the sacrificial blood of Jesus that our sins are purged (1 John 1:7). Lastly, we are cleansed by believing the Gospel, as it speaks to our hearts and assures us of Christ's redemptive work. This cleansing transforms both our heart and our outward conduct, aligning with God's will.
