This verse speaks to the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ has washed us and made us clean by His shed blood.<p>We are cleansed by faith in the WordOfTheLord. <p>The initial, continual and eternal cleansing of all condemnation for sin is by faith. So also is our victory over every attack of the enemy. <p>Faith in the Word requires us to hear the Word, to understand the Word and to receive the Word so that our minds and hearts are transformed by it.
