Ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.What a powerful statement! He has cleansed us of our sins.
But, even after being cleansed, our human nature means that we continue sinning. Do we remain clean despite our continual sinning?
In John 13, Jesus says the answer is "yes" (John 13:10, NLT),
A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet, to be entirely clean.In our daily walk through life, we sin, which accumulates sinful "dirt" on our "feet." Therefore, we need to "wash our feet" (that is, repent and humble ourselves before God) every day. (And if you think you haven't sinned today, think harder!)
But our constant need to wash our feet does not mean we need to be re-saved every day. Jesus is telling us that we need to continually cleanse ourselves of the daily sins that are a routine, albeit unfortunately, part of life. And that continual cleansing can happen by praying without ceasing!
