1 John 1:7But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness .


This is a great preaching point in John. The blood of Jesus cleanses us of all sin. But if we are to think we don't need Jesus because we are not sinners, we are deceiving ourselves. We're made to understand that the mortal material mind has a dead future. But to be redeemed in Christ and have a spiritual nature gives us hope in service with God.
