What does the Bible say about being washed and justified?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible states that believers are washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11).
According to 1 Corinthians 6:11, believers in Christ are described as being washed, sanctified, and justified. This transformation denotes a spiritual cleansing from sin, a setting apart for holiness, and a declaration of righteousness before God. This underscores the central tenet of sovereign grace theology, emphasizing that this transformation is a work of God's grace, not by any merit of our own but solely by the merits of Christ’s finished work on the cross.
