#5. Another passage of scripture that teaches the death of Christ alone saves them He died for is Rev 1:5-6
[FONT="][FONT=Arial][B]5 [/B][/FONT]And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. [B]Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT="]6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Now notice what this passage subscribes to Christ alone :
That He Loved us as He did His Church Eph 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
He washed us from our sins in His own Blood !Note, everyone Christ Loved, He washed them from their sins in His own Blood.
The word for washed is the greek word luó and means:
I loose, untie, release, (b) met: I break, destroy, set at naught, contravene; I break up a meeting, annul.
It has to do with being freed from our sins Rom 6:7
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. And this is Justification, the word freed here is the greek word dikaioó and means:
I make righteous, defend the cause of, plead for the righteousness (innocence) of, acquit, justify; hence: I regard as righteous.
Now those whom Christ Loved, He washed from their sins, which freed them from the guilt and condemnation due to them, and made them righteous: ( Rom 5:19)
Jn Gill writes:
Justification from sin is the result of Christ Loving those He Loved, and those He Loved, He gave Himself for which washed them from their sins in His Own Blood !
