Jesus’ precious blood cleanses ONLY those sins committed BEFORE being born-again!
God’s new covenant righteousness – justified by grace through faith
Romans 3 (NKJV):
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed,
being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets (i.e. the OT),
22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ,
to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith,
to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance
God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness,
that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
