Lesson 15: The Cleansing Blood of Christ How do we come into contact with that cleansing blood, which our Lord shed in his death, in order to have our sins washed away? Romans 6:3 tells us how. "Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?" Since Christ shed His blood in His death, when a person is baptized into our Lord's death, it is there that he comes into contact with the blood of Christ and his sins are then washed away. Baptism is the only means of reaching His death where His blood was shed, so we can have forgiveness of sins. So, when Ananias told Paul in Acts 22:16, "And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins," it was the blood of Christ that washed away Paul's sins when he was baptized. Have you been baptized to have your sins washed away by the blood of Christ? If you haven't, then you still have every sin that you have ever committed.

Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord" Acts 22: 16.
