Sometimes we think some truths are new but in reality they are not. Here is someone back in the 1800's that had a supposedly "heretical" understanding of grace in the form of our sins being forgiven and those sins were continually being washed by the blood of Jesus.
This is in reference to 1 John 1:7 which says that we are continually cleanses by the blood of Jesus - why? Because we walk in the light. Jesus is the light and we are in Him in our new creation which has been created in righteousness and holiness.
I was reading about a hymn writer from the 1800's called Frances Ridley Havergal. She wrote many hymns and knew Latin, French, German, Greek and Hebrew.
She also knew by heart the 4 gospels, epistles and the book of Revelation by the time she was 23 years old - yet she still lived in total defeat.
She thought she had "great wickedness in her heart" - because of religious traditions taught to her which is what humanistic belief systems believe. They think Christians are a "new evolution" and thus they need to create and maintain their own self-righteousness.
It wasn't until she was reading in the Greek that the present tense was used for 1 John 1:7 "...His blood cleanseth us from all sin".
She realized all her sins were forgiven by the blood of Jesus and thus she believed it and experienced peace and joy in her life because of this truth and lived a holier life.
Here is a direct QUOTE:
" Have we not been limiting 1 John 1:7 , by practically making it refer only to "remission of sins that are past" instead of taking the grand simplicity of "cleanseth from all sin"?
"All" is all; and as we may trust Him to cleanse us from the stain of past sins so we may trust Him to cleanse us from all present defilement; yes, all!
By refusing to take 1 John 1:7 in it's fullness, we will lose the fullness of it's application and power in our lives. It goes on cleansing , and I have no words to tell how my heart rejoices in it."

She got the revelation that all her sins were forgiven because she was in Christ and thus always in the Light and His blood continually cleansed her.
She was able to walk free in Christ from that point on. Today she would be called a heretic and being in error by some for having this belief.
Believing the true gospel of the grace of God in Christ finished work on the cross and resurrection will change us as we grow in His grace. We grow in His grace by the "hearing of Christ Himself".

A true teacher, a true christian, will love the Word & use it continuously, for God honors His Word & backs it. It will not fall to the ground.
Charlatans & false teachers & cultists will quote books, authors, web sites before using the scripture itself.
Aannd, when they use the scripture, it's only a verse at a time to spin a new meaning on it & deceive the people.
Did you see it? The evidence?
G777 talks about 1 John 1:7 all thru the post, But never even quotes the whole verse!
G777 states it means we are forever forgiven automatically.
Here's the single verse:New International Version
But 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, purifies us from all sin.
New Living Translation
But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
English Standard Version
But 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.
New American Standard Bible
but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
The whole verse says we're cleansed from all sin IF we continually walk in the light.
If you believed the above post, you have been deceived right here on CC by a charlatan false teacher that can't possibly have Christ & all this false teaching in his heart at the same time.
