We are cleansed by the precious blood of Jesus at a great cost to the Father. We are changed precept upon precept into the character of His Son by the power of the Holy Spirit. We become a member of His Church Body by the mind of the Father, the body of Jesus and the power of Holy Spirit. We are brought into union with the mind, the body and the heart of the Trinity and made whole.
In this verse, Paul uses three terms to describe the conversion of the Corinthians. The tense of all three verbs indicates an action in the past that is complete. Washed means spiritually cleansed by God. Sanctified means set apart as God’s people. Justified means declared righteous by God because of Christ’s work on the Cross.
1 Corinthians 6:11
11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
