1 Corinthians 6:11
1 Corinthians 6:11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:11 speaks of the cleansing and transformation that comes through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:11). This verse is a declaration of the believer’s new identity. They were once defined by their sins and failures, but through Christ’s work, they are washed, sanctified, and justified. This speaks to the complete transformation that occurs when one places their faith in Jesus. It is not a partial change, but a total renewal of the heart and life. The act of being "washed" refers to the cleansing of sin, while "sanctified" speaks of being set apart for God’s purposes. "Justified" means that the believer is declared righteous before God. This verse highlights the power of Jesus’ name and the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing about this radical transformation, and it serves as a reminder of the believer’s new status in Christ—free from condemnation and empowered to live a holy life.
