Cleansed by Blood, Polluted by Choice The blood of Jesus Christ is the most powerful cleansing agent ever known to humanity. Through His sacrifice, sinners are washed, justified, and declared righteous before God. Yet many believers who have been cleansed by His blood deliberately return to sinful lifestyles, worldly patterns, and ungodly habits. This is the tragic reality of cleansed by blood, polluted by choice. Revelation 1:5, Hebrews 10:22, Isaiah 1:18, 2 Peter 2:20-22, Romans 12:1-2 Salvation is God’s gift, but sanctification is our responsibility. While Christ has washed us completely, remaining clean requires obedience, discipline, and a conscious decision to walk in holiness. “Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.” – Revelation 1:5 (KJV) 1. THE POWER OF THE BLOOD THAT CLEANSES The blood of Jesus does what no ritual, sacrifice, or self-effort could accomplish: * It washes away sin (Hebrews 9:14) * It justifies the guilty (Romans 5:9) * It reconciles us to God (Colossians 1:20) * It purifies the conscience (Hebrews 10:22) Isaiah declared: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow...” – Isaiah 1:18 When a sinner repents, God does not partially clean — He completely restores. The blood speaks better things than the blood of Abel (Hebrews 12:24). 2. POLLUTED BY CHOICE: WHEN GRACE IS ABUSED Despite this cleansing, many choose to return to spiritual filth: * Secret sins * Immorality * Bitterness and unforgiveness * Worldly compromise * Hypocrisy Peter warns: “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord... they are again entangled therein...” – 2 Peter 2:20 This is not accidental pollution; it is deliberate disobedience. Grace is not a license to sin, but power to overcome it (Romans 6:1-2). 3. HOW BELIEVERS BECOME SPIRITUALLY POLLUTED a) Neglect of Prayer and Word When devotion weakens, desire for holiness fades (Matthew 26:41). b) Wrong Associations Evil communication corrupts good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33). c) Compromise with the World Loving the world makes one an enemy of God (James 4:4). d) Hardened Conscience Repeated sin dulls conviction (1 Timothy 4:2). 4. CHOOSING HOLINESS IS A DAILY DECISION Holiness does not happen by accident; it is a choice. “Present your bodies a living sacrifice… and be not conformed to this world” – Romans 12:1-2 Every day we choose: * Obedience or rebellion * Purity or compromise * Spirit or flesh * Life or corruption God provides the cleansing, but we must guard the purity. 5. THE DANGER OF RETURNING TO FILTH Scripture gives a strong warning: “The dog is turned to his own vomit again...” – 2 Peter 2:22 To return to sin after cleansing is spiritual betrayal. It crucifies Christ afresh (Hebrews 6:4-6) and grieves the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). 6. THE PATH BACK TO PURITY If anyone has been polluted: * Repent genuinely (1 John 1:9) * Confess without excuses * Renounce old habits * Reconnect to spiritual disciplines * Submit to accountability God restores the broken, but He expects a surrendered heart. You were not cleansed to become careless. You were not washed to wallow in dirt. The blood of Jesus paid too high a price for believers to live in cheap grace. The tragedy is not that Christ failed to cleanse — it is that men choose to be polluted again. Today, choose purity. Choose holiness. Choose obedience. “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” – Matthew 5:8 ALTAR CALL / PRAYER Lord Jesus, thank You for Your precious blood that washed me clean. I renounce every sin that seeks to pollute my soul. Restore my hunger for holiness and strengthen me to walk in obedience. I choose purity. I choose righteousness. I choose Christ. Amen.

The Corrupted Christian 2 Timothy 3:1–5 We live in a generation where many claim to be Christians but their lives deny the very power of godliness. The church is full of activity but lacking in true spirituality. Many who once walked in the light have allowed sin, greed, and hypocrisy to corrupt their hearts. This message is a call to repentance and purity — to return to the life of holiness that pleases God. 📖 2 Timothy 3:1–5 (KJV) "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud... having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 1. Who Is a Corrupted Christian? A corrupted Christian is not an unbeliever, but one who once knew the truth yet allows sin to take root in his or her heart. They appear godly on the outside but are spiritually decayed inside. 📖 Matthew 23:27 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones." A corrupted Christian can still sing, preach, pray, and give offerings — but their heart is far from God. 2. Signs of a Corrupted Christian * Loss of Spiritual Sensitivity – No more conviction when they sin (Ephesians 4:18–19). * Lovers of Pleasure More Than God – Church becomes entertainment, not worship (2 Timothy 3:4). * Hypocrisy and Double Life – Pretending to be holy but living in secret sin (Titus 1:16). * Greed and Materialism – Pursuing money more than righteousness (1 Timothy 6:10). * Pride and Self-glory – Seeking fame instead of glorifying God (James 4:6). 3. Causes of Corruption in the Christian Life * Neglect of the Word of God – Without the Word, the heart becomes darkened (Psalm 119:11). * Unconfessed Sin – Hidden sin opens the door to spiritual decay (Proverbs 28:13). * Wrong Companionship – Evil association corrupts good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33). * Love of the World – The desire for worldly pleasure draws one away from God (1 John 2:15–17). * Pride and Self-Righteousness – Thinking one is too spiritual to fall (1 Corinthians 10:12). 4. God’s Warning to the Corrupted Christian 📖 Revelation 3:15–16 "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot... so then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." God despises lukewarm Christianity. He wants a pure, sincere, and dedicated heart. The corrupted Christian must either repent or face judgment. 5. The Path to Restoration Acknowledge Your Sin – Admit where you have fallen (1 John 1:8–9). Repent Genuinely – Turn away from sinful habits (Acts 3:19). Renew Your Mind – Through the Word and prayer (Romans 12:2). Seek the Holy Spirit’s Cleansing – Only He can purify the heart (Psalm 51:10–11). Walk in Obedience – Live daily to please God (John 14:15). Beloved, the name “Christian” is not a decoration — it’s a call to live like Christ. The corrupted Christian must repent before it’s too late. The Lord is coming soon for a spotless bride, not a polluted one. 📖 Ephesians 5:27 "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." Let us examine ourselves today and ask, “Am I still standing pure before God?” May the Lord cleanse us from every corruption and make us vessels of honor again. Pray This Prayer Lord, search my heart and reveal every hidden corruption in me. Father, purify me by Your Spirit and restore my first love. Deliver me from every secret sin and hypocrisy. Lord, make me a true reflection of Your holiness. Help me to live in truth and righteousness till You come. Pastor Abiodun Kadri Support us: Your love can go where you can’t.

🕊️ Signs of True Repentance: Clinging to the Lord and seeking His counsel from the Holy Scriptures and spiritual teachers, listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit in the heart, and preferring God's commandments over the wisdom of the world. The supremacy of love over every thought, action, and word. This is seen in quickly forgiving offenses and responding to insults with the spirit of Jesus. Not turning the heart away from the commandments of Jesus. Even if periods of hesitation pass, and a person cries out asking for the Lord's grace and strength, the crying out itself is one of the signs of repentance. Confessing weakness is necessary. Preferring the law of the Cross and the Crucified One over everything in life, even life itself, and counting everything – as the Apostle said – as "rubbish." Intense hatred for sin, and humility in dealing with sinners; because hating sin without humility is a defense of our own conduct, a quest for hidden praise, and an attempt to appear righteous by publicly attacking sinners and sin. #Repentance #TrueRepentance #HolySpirit #Forgiveness #TheCross #Humility
