"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
The list of sins and violations in the preceding verses, is an awful reminder of our past spiritual condition and ultimate end. The focus of this verse, is the past tense of what we were, contrasted with the gloriously blessed present tense of what we are in Jesus! We were filthy in degradation and sin, but are now washed; we were rebellious, unrighteous and vile but are now sanctified; we were without excuse and under sentence of eternal death but are now justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God! Hallelujah!
