When a man is justified he can go through the world with his head
erect. Satan may come to him, and say, "You are a sinner"; but the
reply would be, "I know that, but God has forgiven me through Christ";
as it is written in Revelation i. 5, "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 in His own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God the
Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever."
Many people try to come to Christ, but think they cannot come unless
they first become good. But He loves all Christians even before their
sins are washed away. He loves them, and then washes them in His own
blood. It is wonderful love! To think that He loves them first and
then washes them in His blood from their sins! There is no devil in
hell that can pluck them out of His hand. They are perfectly safe; for
they are washed in the blood of the Lamb.
