No amount of goodness we do in life can cover our sins or make us clean. The truth is only the blood of Jesus Christ can make us clean. It washes us white and allows us to become whiter than snow. How can someone be washed in the blood and become whiter than snow? But the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us so we become righteous and without sin. It is as though we had never sinned before in our life. Remember, Jesus is the Lord of Heaven and Earth and is called the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. This is not a physical cleansing, but a spiritual one.

This is the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of God the Messiah. As the angel said to Mary and the other women, "He is not here. For he has risen as he said. Come see the place where the Lord lay." Many have the resurrection power while some do not have a clue about what it is or how they can get it. The Bible tells us what we are in Christ Jesus the Lord. We are no more outcasts but now are we the sons of God. Not children only born of flesh and blood but children born of the spirit of God.
