JESUS CLEANSES US
This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
-1 John 1:5-10
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
-Ephesians 5:25-27

JESUS Was Cursed For Us
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written , Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
- Galatians 3:13-14

Communion with the Triune God
“Assure yourself, there is nothing more acceptable unto The Father than for us to keep up our hearts unto Him as the eternal fountain of all that rich grace which flows out to sinners in the blood of Jesus.
This will be exceeding effectual to endear your soul unto God, to cause you to delight in Him, and to make your abode with Him.
Many saints have no greater burden in their lives than that their hearts do not come clearly and fully up, constantly to delight and rejoice in God—that there is still an unwillingness of spirit unto close walking with Him. What is at the bottom of this distemper?
Is it not their unskillfulness in or neglect of this duty, even of holding communion with The Father in love?
So much as we see of the love of God, so much shall we delight in Him, and no more.
Every other discovery of God, without this, will but make the soul fly from Him.
But if the heart be once much taken up with this the eminency of The Father’s love, it cannot choose but be overpowered, conquered, and endeared unto Him. This, if anything, will work upon us to make our abode with Him.
If the love of a father will not make a child delight in him, what will? Exercise your thoughts upon this very thing, the eternal, free, and fruitful love of The Father, and see if your hearts be not wrought upon to delight in Him.
I dare boldly say: believers will find it as thriving a course as ever they pitched on in their lives.
Sit down a little at the fountain, and you will quickly have a further discovery of the sweetness of the streams.
You who have run from Him, will not be able, after a while, to keep at a distance for a moment.”
—John Owen, Communion with the Triune God, originally 1657.
