How do we know Jesus Christ's works cleanse us?

The cleansing work of Jesus is central to the gospel, illustrated by the live coal placed upon Isaiah's lips (Isaiah 6:7), symbolizing purification and the transformative power of God's grace. Ephesians 5:26 further clarifies that the church is sanctified by 'the washing of water by the word,' indicating that hearing and believing the gospel leads to spiritual cleansing. This ongoing work allows believers to serve God fruitfully, as they are continually reminded of Christ's sacrificial love and righteousness.
