Washed, Sanctified and Righteous

Jesus death on mount Calvary's cross given to His father as token of his love for those He did come to save fitting them to live in heaven above In this substitutionary sacrifice Jesus washed away all their sin this one act brings atonement to His own for salvation to win At this point sanctification began marking them freely with sovereign grace filling them with God's holy spirit desires instilled to look on Christ's face Jesus atoning sacrifice for sin accepted by God marks them righteous justified in the Lord as truly His saved from past of being unrighteous Now in the name of the Lord Jesus God's mercy brings to this state washed sanctified and righteous glory to God for He's truly great ('But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.' )1 Corinthians 6: 11 (esv)
