What does it mean to be cleansed by the blood of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being cleansed by the blood of Christ means that through His sacrifice, believers are made pure and righteous before God.

To be cleansed by the blood of Christ signifies the complete washing away of sin for those for whom He died. In 1 John 1:7, it is affirmed that 'the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.' This cleansing is not based on human efforts or righteous works; rather, it is solely dependent on Christ's atoning death, which satisfied divine justice. When believers place their faith in Christ, they receive this cleansing, standing justified and holy before God as a result of His work. Thus, the doctrine of cleansing through Christ’s blood emphasizes the sufficiency of His sacrifice and the assurance of salvation it provides to the elect.
