Day 35 - IN CHRIST, clean conscience

Day 36 - IN CHRIST, my conscience is purged from dead works to serve the living God

This is an illustration for the present time,
indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered
were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. ...

How much more, then, will the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God,
cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,
so that we may serve the living God!...

The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming
- not the realities themselves.
this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices
repeated endlessly year after year,
make perfect those who draw near to worship.
If it could, would they not have stopped being offered?
For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all,
and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.

Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience
and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Heb. 9:9,14; 10:1,2,22

"Then Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet, but my hands and head as well!"
Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wah his feet; his whole body is clean..." John 13:9-10 [Speaking of us being clean IN CHRIST, but a daily washing off of the world's filth that we live in is needed]
