What is it to be washed with the blood and spirit of Christ?
It is to receive of God the remission of sins, freely, for the sake of Christ’s blood, which he shed for us by his sacrifice upon the cross:a and also to be renewed by the Holy Ghost, and sanctified to be members of Christ; that so we may more and more die unto sin, and lead holy and unblameable lives.b
