When a man or a woman repents toward God and exercise faith in Jesus Christ, the provision for his/her cleansing has already been provided for. We don't have to concern ourselves with the means of washing our sins away; the blood of Jesus is sprinkling while we are believing.  

When a man or a woman repents toward God and exercise faith in Jesus Christ, the provision for his/her cleansing has already been provided for. We don't have to concern ourselves with the means of washing our sins away; the blood of Jesus is sprinkling while we are believing. 

We were chosen by God through "sanctification of the Spirit" unto obedience and "sprinkling of the blood of Jesus" (1 Peter 1:2-4).

Jesus said to the Jews once, "no man could come to me, except the father who sent me draws him." The next passage says, "and they shall be all taught of God, everyone that has heard and learned of the father, comes to me. "

When the father calls us to himself, he separates us from our surrounding influences. We became detached from folks and things which had previously controlled our lives.

As we yielded in obedience to God, the blood of Jesus began washing our sins away, even to our unknowingly.

As we continued in faith and obedience toward the cleansing blood of Jesus, we were baptized in the Holy Spirit.

If we continue to walk in the light of his Word, as He is the light, we will continue fellowshipping the saints, and the blood of Jesus will continue our cleansing, as He prepares us to meet Him in the clouds.

Paul said that our salvation is so precious that it remained hidden in the mind of God until the last times, though the prophets of old searched vigorously and even prophesied of the grace that came to us, when they testified of the "suffering of Christ" and the "glory that was to follow."

But it was revealed to them that it was not for them, but for us, who are now preaching the Gospel unto you, with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven, which things the angels desire to look into.

It's an incorruptible inheritance, that's undefiled, and that will never fade away, but is reserved for us in heaven.

Yet, He allows us to periodically experience sufferings, but it's only that our faith may appear unto praise, glory, and honor, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The character names of the rest of the world, who see all these calamities among are biblically called "the vessels of wrath" (Eph. 2:3). These perils are to be a wake-up call for those God calls "the vessels of mercy". (Rom. 9:22-23)

The scriptures says, "what if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known on the "vessels of wrath" although he had great patience with them, that He might make known the riches of His glory on "the vessels of mercy", whom He had prepared in advance for glory. (Rom. 9:22-24)

The "vessels of mercy" are the elect, who saw God's power on the "vessels of wrath" and repented.

The long-suffering of God only hardens their hearts, as with Pharaoh. God said He raised Pharaoh up, that He might show His power in Him and to declare His name throughout all the earth.

That man might see God's power and repent. Those who do so, God call them "the vessels of mercy".

Paul says in verse 24 of the 9th chapter of Romans, "Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles."

As he also said in Hosea, "I'll call them my people, who were not my people, and her beloved, who were not beloved."

Isaiah also cried concerning Israel saying, "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant shall be save.

Paul said in (Romans 11:5) "that the remnant or the chosen of God are as it was in the days of Elijah, reserved, according to the election of grace, which only comes through faith, that comes by hearing.

This is the short work that God said he would do upon the earth. He would finish the work and cut it short in righteousness.

It only took Jesus three and half years to make everybody and anybody saved, who wanted to be saved. That work stills bring salvation even today.

Each time the Gospel is preached, a person can hear it and be delivered in a matter of minutes, yet saved forever.
