Amen frienduff.........having had the bath and every whit clean, it is a matter then of letting Him wash our feet. 

Even Paul being washed in the Blood still had pride in him that required the Lord to send him a messenger of Satan......even Peter being washed in the Blood was in grievous error at one point due to some weakness still in him.  Anyone washed in the Blood....is still called to go on to perfection.  Everyone is given a different measure at the start, some greater, some lesser, but it remains that whatever our measure is, we are to invest what we have to gain more......we just continue growing as we follow the Lord, from glory to glory.  God is the great equalizer.....who is forgiven more (because they sinned more) loves more, who is forgiven less (because they sinned less) loves less, who is last shall be first and who is first shall be last, who is rich can rejoice that he is made low, and who is poor can rejoice that he is lifted up.   God's ways are not man's ways, and the Israelites conquered the Promised Land little by little.

The epistles were written to the churches, in other words to those who had already been washed in the Blood.......if being washed in the Blood was all there was to it, and everyone was suddenly perfected, there would be no need for instruction, for admonishment, for correction, for reproof or for chastisements of the Lord in our life, and no need to carry our cross.  No need for those things if we didn't still have to WORK OUT our salvation.  We have already been made the righteousness of Christ through His Blood, and His righteousness is perfectly imputed to the child of God.......but now we go on to laying hold of what has been laid up for us in heaven, bringing it to earth, praying His will be done, His KINGdom come...His rule advancing in our life.  Of the INCREASE of His government there shall be no end......meaning as long as we live and keep follow Him, His government/rule keeps increasing in our life.  The offering is not received on the basis of what we dont' have, but only on the basis of what we do have, the measure that we have.....and everyone's battles are not the same, we are all unique.....some inherited more difficult battles to fight, some not so difficult, and everything in between.....etc.  In the end God will judge all His people, and judge righteous judgment....He is the only one knowing all, who will be able to.

Having already been washed in the Blood we follow Him, endeavour to obey Him, fight the good fight, ask, seek and knock.......simply because we are COMPELLED to by love and by His Spirit within us, not to earn anything, but as an OUTWORKING OF OUR SALVATION (working out our salvation).....outworking of the deposit He put in us when He already GAVE us His salvation.  I think of Jesus being DRIVEN by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness.  What NEED did the perfect, sinless Son of God have to be in any wilderness?  But it was the will of God to go and fight that battle to the glory of the Father, to take some ground on EARTH, bring His kingdom to EARTH, win victories over the devil.  Same with us, what NEED do we have to fight battles having already been made the righteousness of Christ in heaven.... it is not to earn salvation....but it is for the same reason as Jesus.....the Lord drives us to, leads us to.....in order to show the manifold wisdom of God to the powers and principalities.........He is glorifying His name in the sight of those princes and powers.  So be encouraged soldiers of the Lord.....and fight on.

and what do the feet represent .     having thy foot SHOD with the gospel.

JESUS ONLY SAVES GOSPLE.

Rome and many are polluting the waters with stinky nasty all inclusive world peace selling a nasty foot gospel that all are saved,  OH ,  well cept them dangerous JESUS ONLY ONES.

Then why do you sin.

still had pride in him

I thought this was prevented,  not found in him,  but stopped before it started. (due to the extravagantly rich and wonderful revelations he had and was or would be receiving)

JOHN what is wrong with your mannerism.    The early church was grave about not erring .    Let all who name the name of Christ depart from inquity

OH ,  let not even these things be once , ONCE named among you as becomes saints . BROTHER ,   stop making people who warn out aginst sin seem wrong .

When the churches were taught to no longer be grave , no longer be serious ,  the leaven went viral as few to none warned anymore .

We need constant reminders .   me, all of us .   and I am going to by the grace of GOD keep speaking as I am so led to do so.

You praise the LORD JOHN.     just praise the LORD .

But everyone sins, and continues to.

Matthew chapter 7 verses 1-3
Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? (1 John chapter 1 verse 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
James chapter 2 verse 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.)
Now to Matthew chapter 7 verse 4-5
 How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of you eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Galatians chapter 5 verse 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command love your neighbor as yourself.

I saw a way grave stance against sin in that early church.   your approach is all off.    

Something aint right .   Oh dear I got fear for you  .    I have seen this approach completely destroy. 

John with a heavy heart I will pray for you.    You gave up and became victim.    you just gave up .   

Gravity is just gone from many now , and unity will only increase , only the wrong type of unity.

Galatians chapter 5 verse 4

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

Romans chapter 7 starting with verse 4

⁴ So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. ⁵ For when we were in the realm of the flesh,^[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. ⁶ But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
