[Glossary] Method of Cleansing from Guilt and Pollution

1. (Clark 1993, 9): "It would not be sufficient for God's purpose (even were it a fact, which it is not) that a man obey perfectly from the moment of his conversion onward. He should have obeyed before. God demands perfect obedience at all times, and tomorrow's obedience does not excuse yesterday's disobedience. Therefore, as guilty before God, and as deserving of God's wrath and curse, a man must be cleansed of all guilt and pollution. This also is the purpose of God's election, and the method of cleansing is the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ."

The method of cleansing from guilt and pollution is the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ.
