though you are as black as night and as hideous as hell. By Charles Spurgeon

1 John 1, verse 7
The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin. Oh, that blessed word, all. It includes willful sins and unintentional sins, sins against gospel light, sins against the love of God, sins wantonly perpetrated, sins against man and against God, sins of body and of soul, sins of thought and word and deed, sins of every rank and character, sins as immense as the sea, All, all are removed, no matter how many, or how vile they are.

What comfort there is here for every believer! However heinous your sins may be, there is a sin offering which cleanses away every sin. However you may have defiled yourselves, though you are as black as night and as hideous as hell, yet is there power in the atoning blood of the incarnate God to make you white as newly fallen snow.

Oh, what a joy it is to think not only has Christ put away my sin, but now for me He is a sweet savor to God, and I am for His sake accepted, for His sake beloved, for His sake delighted in, for His sake precious unto God. The Immaculate Christ has died, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.

washed once in the fountain opened for sin and for impurity, there shall remain upon you no trace of guilt. The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.

He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians chapter 1 verses 13 and 14.

Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him. Romans chapter 4 verses 7 and 8.
