That question and it’s answer resonated from today’s ODB entry; and after taking it in, along with my study Scriptures shared above, I was convicted to realize that it is only my faith in Jesus’ shed blood and His cleansing of my sin that I could ever be clean enough to spend my eternity with Christ.  But I do have faith in the cleansing blood of Christ; … and thru that faith, I will be with my Lord FOREVER, completely cleansed and able to worship Him for eternity.   How about you?
