“All” Means All
“All” looks like a small word, but it is so all-inclusive — dealing with every detail, even things we’ve long forgotten about. It becomes a very important word to note and treasure, because it affects our most basic needs.
Since we live in a sinful world, we often see the word “all” used pretentiously. Not all people really mean what they say and often hold back and renege on their promises. That leads us to thinking that “all” doesn’t really mean all. But, when God says “all”, that is exactly what He means. In 1 John 1:7, we read,
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 blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” Not just some — not just the little sins — not just the ones committed on that day — but, ALL sins.
So, when Satan tempts us to doubt and fear that we are not really totally forgiven, we need to remember this word of God. God is holy. God cannot lie. It is Satan who is the liar and the father of lies.
Take courage. Believe the Lord who cannot lie. All of His word is truth and He is always faithful. He cannot help but be faithful — His love for us on the cross compels Him to surely forgive all our sins and cleanse us totally from all sin.
Free from the burden of guilt, we say, “Hallelujah! Lord, You have proven Your faithfulness and truthfulness over and over since the beginning of time. Thank You for letting Your love and truth comfort us again.”
Love,
Margaret
