1 Corinthians chapter 6, verse 11.

And such were some of you, but you were washed.

You were sanctified.

You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Yes, loving this verse. 1 Corinthians chapter 6, verse 11, right after

verses 9 and 10 talking about how the sexually immoral, idolater, adulterer, those who practice

homosexuality, thieves, greedy, drunkers, reviler, swindlers, they won't inherit the kingdom of

God. And then Paul says,

and such were some of you. Like, he looks at this church says, you are all those things,

but you were washed. You were washed. You were sanctified. You were justified in the name of the

Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Like, that sin picture in 1 Corinthians chapter 9 verse 10, Paul says, is not the way your story

ends. Your story ends with being washed of that sin, being sanctified, saved from it, justified before God, forgiven before God.

Why? Because of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, because you trusted in Him. Because His Spirit has

transformed your life. You're a new person now. Yes, like this is what it means to be a

follower of Christ, not to be perfect, not to be perfect, not to no longer have any struggle

with sin. Like struggle with sin remains, imperfections remain, but we are washed. By God's

grace, we're sanctified. We are washed. Like God's grace, we're sanctified.

We are washed.

Like, I just want to encourage you particularly, well, I obviously don't know your life

and all the background in your life and all the sin you have committed.
