How do we know that God cleanses us from sin?

We can be assured of God's cleansing from sin based on several scriptural promises and the faithfulness of Christ. In Mark 1:40-42, Jesus demonstrated His authority to cleanse a leper, which acts as a foreshadowing of the ultimate cleansing that comes through His blood. Furthermore, Ephesians 5:25-27 speaks of Christ's love for the church, saying He cleanses it to present it as holy and spotless. This thorough cleansing encompasses every aspect of our sinfulness, making us fit for fellowship with God. The historical and ongoing experience of believers who confess their sins to God and receive forgiveness illustrates the reality of this cleansing. Our continued trust in Christ affirms our standing as clean in Him.
