Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-14
We have now turned our attention from the sin of homosexuality to the person who is committing such sin. Understanding that no matter the sin it is still an offense to God and that offense is a direct violation of one of His attributes. However that does not mean that God does not still love the person and offers to them forgiveness of their sin. In verse 11 we find this truth. Paul reminds that Corinthians that the sins he listed were what some of them had practiced but now they had been washed, sanctified and justified because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God that drew them to saving knowledge of Christ’s sacrifice. I realize that maybe someone reading this may be deep in the sin of homosexuality or some other sin. Please understand you are never too deep that God cannot pull you up out of the darkness of sin and set your soul free. God offers salvation to everyman and you need to understand that He wants to conquer your soul in order to change your life and set you free from sin. That is what is meant by washed, sanctified and justified. The beauty of justification is that God looks at you as just as if you never sinned. He makes you clean, He sets you free and nothing you can do will ever clean you up from any sin, only God can do that work in you.
Father help each of us to understand that it is you that cleans us up, it is you that forgives our sin, and it is you that sets us free.
