Cleansed- By What Are We Cleansed?

Bible Questions Answered:

“I see contradiction in John clean through the word but Hebrews clean through Christ!.....”

Balbir/ Kolkata, India (West Bengal)

Bible Answer:

No contradiction.

We are clean, through the shed blood of God's sinless Lamb, The Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ our Redeemer:

John 3:14-18 KJV

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that He (God The Father) gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

I Corinthians 15:3,4 KJV

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Galatians 1:3-5 KJV

3 Grace be to you and peace from God The Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4 Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Titus 2:13,14 KJV

13 Looking for that Blessed Hope, and the glorious appearing of The Great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;

14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Hebrews 9:28 KJV

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear..."

I Peter 1:18-20 KJV

18 For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with The Precious Blood Of Christ, as of A Lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

I Peter 2:21-24 KJV

21 "...Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps:

22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth:

23 Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him (God The Father) that judgeth righteously:

24 Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness..."

I Peter 3:18 KJV

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by The Spirit:

I John 3:5 KJV

And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

Revelation 1:5 KJV

And from Jesus Christ, who is The Faithful Witness, and The First Begotten Of The Dead, and The Prince Of The Kings Of The Earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

Revelation 5:9 KJV

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Now what about John's statement, that we are clean through The Word?

This is no problem, The Word, is a "title" for The Lord Jesus Christ!

John 1:1,14 KJV

1 In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

14 And The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of

The Only Begotten Of The Father,) full of grace and truth.

The very Word Of The Father, is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ.

I John 1:1 KJV

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of The Word Of Life;

I John 5:7 KJV

For there are three that bear record in heaven, The Father, The Word, and The Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Revelation 19:11-13 KJV

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth Judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself.

13 And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.

There are no less than 103 titles for The Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son. The Word, is but one of them.

Look for all these titles, in an upcoming blog.

Bible Lesson: Miracles Of The Old Testament: Water Needed-Supplied By The Power Of God

Bible Lesson: Miracles Of The Old Testament: Water Needed Supplied - By The Power Of God

Occasion: Answer To Prayer:

Location: Moab

Bible Text:

II Kings 3:13-20 NLT (Be sure to read the whole chapter.)

13 “Why are you coming to me?” Elisha asked the king of Israel. “Go to the pagan prophets of your father and mother!” But King Joram of Israel said, “No! For it was the Lord who called us three kings here..."

14 Elisha replied, “As surely as The Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, I wouldn’t even bother with you except for my respect for King Jehoshaphat of Judah.

15"...the power of The Lord came upon Elisha,

16 and he said, “This is what The Lord says: This dry valley will be filled with pools of water!

17 You will see neither wind nor rain, says The Lord, but this valley will be filled with water. You will have plenty for yourselves and your cattle and other animals.

18 But this is only a simple thing for The Lord, for He will make you victorious over the army of Moab!

19 You will conquer the best of their towns, even the fortified ones. You will cut down all their good trees, stop up all their springs, and ruin all their good land with stones.”

20 The next day at about the time when the morning sacrifice was offered, water suddenly appeared! It was flowing from the direction of Edom, and soon there was water everywhere.

The Moabite King Mesha, decided to stop paying tribute to Israel's King Joram. King Joram enlisted the aid of the King of Judah, King Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom, to conquer the Moabites.

The Edomites, and the people of Judah, no doubt felt that they could be threatened as well by the rebellious Moabites.

They hatched a plan, to surround Moab, and conquer them.

Unfortunately, they had not considered very the cost of such actions.

What was it our Lord said....

Luke 14:28 KJV

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

They had the horses, the men, the military leaders, the perfect plans, but, they had not considered, that much travel through arid terrain, meant the need for, much water!

Water they were without, yet not ideas.

They remembered there was a man of God in Israel, by the name of Elisha. To Elisha they went for a miracle!

I King 3:13 NLT

“Why are you coming to me?” Elisha asked the king of Israel. “Go to the pagan prophets of your father and mother!” But King Joram of Israel said, “No! For it was the Lord who called us three kings here..."

King Joram (Jehoram) was not a Godly king. He had destroyed the images of Baal, but kept the worship of golden calves as a national religion.

And so Elisha's question.

Isn't it interesting, when the skeptic, the mocker, the atheist, runs into serious trouble, the first thing they do, is seek out someone who knows how to pray to The Living God.

An old saying that every veteran is well aware of is “There are no atheists in a fox hole.”

Why? Because in a fox hole, in war, death is near, and the most hardened sinner will pray!

No, King Jehoram, knew only too well, his idolatrous golden calves, couldn't help him now! 

(Read I Kings 18:)

II Kings 3:14 NLT

Elisha replied, “As surely as The Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, I wouldn’t even bother with you except for my respect for King Jehoshaphat of Judah.

Because Godly King Jehoshapt, Elshia would seek The Lord.

II Kings 3:15-19 NLT

15"...the power of The Lord came upon Elisha,

16 and he said, “This is what The Lord says: This dry valley will be filled with pools of water!

17 You will see neither wind nor rain, says The Lord, but this valley will be filled with water. You will have plenty for yourselves and your cattle and other animals.

18 But this is only a simple thing for The Lord, for He will make you victorious over the army of Moab!

19 You will conquer the best of their towns, even the fortified ones. You will cut down all their good trees, stop up all their springs, and ruin all their good land with stones.”

Three kings received the answer they were hoping for, springs of life saving water.

II Kings 3:20 NLT

The next day at about the time when the morning sacrifice was offered, water suddenly appeared! It was flowing from the direction of Edom, and soon there was water everywhere.

Genesis 18:14 KJV

Is any thing too hard for The Lord?..."

The three kings went on in complete success, because God had provided for them!

Now today, how many a dear soul, faint and weak in battle, thirsts for life giving strength in a dry and lifeless land.

John 4:3-42 NLT

3 So He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4 He had to go through Samaria on the way.

5 Eventually He came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.

7 Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give Me a drink.”

8 He was alone at the time because His disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.

9 The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?”

10 Jesus replied, “If you only knew The Gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask Me, and I would give you living water.”

11 “But sir, you don’t have a rope or a bucket,” she said, “and this well is very deep. Where would you get this living water?

12 And besides, do you think you’re greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?”

13 Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again.

14 But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”

15 “Please, sir,” the woman said, “give me this water! Then I’ll never be thirsty again, and I won’t have to come here to get water.”

16 “Go and get your husband,” Jesus told her.

17 “I don’t have a husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said, “You’re right! You don’t have a husband—

18 for you have had five husbands, and you aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now. You certainly spoke The Truth!”

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “you must be a prophet.

20 So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?”

21 Jesus replied, “Believe Me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship The Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

22 You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about Him, for salvation comes through the Jews.

23 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship The Father in Spirit and in Truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship Him that way.

24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and in Truth.”

25 The woman said, “I know The Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26 Then Jesus told her, “I Am The Messiah!”

27 Just then His disciples came back. They were shocked to find Him talking to a woman, but none of them had the nerve to ask, “What do you want with her?” or “Why are you talking to her?”

28 The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone,

29 “Come and see a Man who told me everything I ever did! Could He possibly be The Messiah?”

30 So the people came streaming from the village to see Him.

31 Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32 But Jesus replied, “I have a kind of food you know nothing about.”

33 “Did someone bring Him food while we were gone?” the disciples asked each other.

34 Then Jesus explained: “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent Me, and from finishing His work.

35 You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and harvest.’ But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest.

36 The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike!

37 You know the saying, ‘One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s true.

38 I sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.”

39 Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!”

40 When they came out to see Him, they begged Him to stay in their village. So He stayed for two days,

41 long enough for many more to hear His message and believe.

42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not just because of what you told us, but because we have heard Him ourselves. Now we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world.”

Jeremiah 2:13

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me 

The Fountain Of Living Waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

John 7:37-39 NLT

37 On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, 

“Anyone who is thirsty may come to Me!

38 Anyone who believes in Me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, 

‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”

39 (When He said “living water,” He was speaking of The Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in Him..."

Revelation 21:6 KJV

And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End. I will give unto him that is athirst of The Fountain Of The Water Of Life freely.

Revelation 22:1 KJV

And he shewed me a pure river of Water Of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of 

The Throne Of God And Of The Lamb.

Revelation 22:17 KJV

And The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take The Water Of Life freely.

Only a total illiterate, would say such nonsensical, and ridiculous things!

A Christian, Loves his neighbor:

Matthew 22:36-40 KJV

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

John 13:34,35 KJV

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.

John 15:12,17 KJV

12 This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Romans 13:8 KJV

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

I Corinthians 13:1 NLT

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

I Thessalonians 4:9 KJV

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

I John 2:9-11 KJV

9 He that saith he is in The Light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

10 He that loveth his brother abideth in The Light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

I John 3:11,14,15,23 KJV

11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

23 And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

I John 4:7,11,12,20,21 KJV

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us.

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21 And this commandment have we from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Our Savior, Himself taught, (not acceptance but) tolerance!

Matthew 13:24-30 KJV

24 Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

At this point, we must stop to properly understand God's love, and what must be our own.

John 3:16 KJV

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

II Corinthians 5:21 KJV

For He (God The Father) hath made Him (Jesus Christ God's Son) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

Because Jesus loved the world, did God's Son, love sin?

Absolutely “not!”

Deuteronomy 25:16 KJV

For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto The Lord thy God.

Psalm 5:4,5 NLT

Psalm 11:4,5 KJV

4 The Lord is in His holy temple, The Lord's throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men.

5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.

Habakkuk 1:13 KJV

Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity..."

God loved the world, humanity His creation, but He hated their sin!

And that is the character of the Christian, in the world.

Love the individuals, pray for them, help them, but hate the sin.

Is their sin, any worse than our sins were and are?

No!

Romans 3:23 KJV

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

James 2:10 KJV

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

The role of the Christian.

Jude 22,23 NLT

22 And you must show mercy..."

23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.

Romans 12:9,10 NLT

9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.

10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.

Bigotry, treats others, who are not like, or believe like, themselves, with hatred, and contempt.

This certainly was not Jesus Christ, nor is it true of His true followers!

Hate the sin, yes, but love and try our best to help the individual!

Jesus told the Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector.

Luke 18:9-14 NLT

9 Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else:

10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector.

11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else. For I don’t cheat, I don’t sin, and I don’t commit adultery. I’m certainly not like that tax collector!

12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’

13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’

14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

The Pharisee, exalted himself, while despising his neighbor. This is bigotry.

The follower of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 5:38-48 NLT

38 “You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

39 But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.

40 If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too.

41 If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry it two miles.

42 Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow.

43 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy.

44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!

45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For He gives His sunlight to both the evil and the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much.

47 If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that.

48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Now, are Christians thee only ones who though they love all, yet maintain their standards?

Are Christians thee only ones who maintain their beliefs?

Absolutely not!

What kind of doctor would recognize disease as a killer, and yet say, well I don't want to be a bigot, so I will say that some disease is OK!

What kind of soldier would maintain his post, yet think to himself, “after all enemy soldiers are just men like me, I don't want to be accused of being a bigot, so I will let some of them past my watch.

In Boulder, Colorado (America), we have The National Bureau of Standards. It is here were the standards of all measurements are scrupulously kept! A pound, 16 ounces or 0.4536 Kilograms, in the form of metal weights, that are kept by the bureau. The measurement of one foot, an inch, a yard, etc. Any and all measurements that you can think of, one will find there. And time, counted off by an Atomic Clock, with no variations, for thousands of years.

This is mentioned to state that there must of necessity, always be standards! Society as we know it, could not exist without them. And it is no less true for Spiritual Standards taught by our Creator!

Some one in their sinful rebellion may say, “I don't believe in Jesus!”

That of course is their choice, but our Savior says.....

John 8:24 KJV

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.

What an absolute “test,” of Spiritual Faith!

Love, mercy, help, prayer, giving, sharing, and not only of those who love us, but of our enemies!

This is the teaching of the Christian Faith!

John 13:34,35 KJV

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.

New World Dictionary

Hebrews 12:1-4 NLT

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, The Champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now He is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.

3 Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.

4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.

Does all this mean, that every Christian will experience one form or another of suffering?

Yes.

This suffering may come from one's own household, for our Lord taught us.

Matthew 10:32-39 KJV

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in heaven.

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.

From the world:

John 15:18-20 KJV

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also.

Suffering is not something that we need to seek after, if we are faithful to our Lord, it will find us.

Will all Christians suffer? Yes, our Savior suffered being in the world, and we will too.

Now “patience,” also means endurance!

Can we endure? We can endure with patience any trial, because of our peace and our strength, comes from The Lord.
