Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me [John 13:8].

"What did our Lord mean by that? He meant that without this washing there can be no fellowship with Him. This is the Passover Feast which speaks of His death. He arose from the Passover Feast which speaks of His rising in resurrection and going back to heaven. He is girded with the towel of service and He is saying to us, “If I don’t wash you, you’ll have no part with me.” You cannot have fellowship with him, service with Him, without the washing.

How does Christ wash us today? “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Ps. 119:9). “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you” (John 15:3). “… even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word” (Eph. 5:25–26). It is the Word of God that will keep the believer clean. And when we sin, how are we cleansed? “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Too many people treat sin as a light matter. My friend, may I say to you, the feet speak of the walk, and when you and I become disobedient, we are not walking in His way. That is sin, and that needs to be confessed." McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible commentary: The Gospels (John 11-21) (electronic ed., Vol. 39, p. 59). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

"Jn 13:6–10 These proceedings embarrassed all of the disciples. While others remained silent, Peter, perhaps on behalf of others (see Matt. 16:13–23), spoke up in indignation that Jesus would stoop so low as to wash his feet. He failed to see beyond the humble service itself to the symbolism of spiritual cleansing involved (v. 7; cf. 1 John 1:7–9). Jesus’ response made the real point of His actions clear: Unless the Lamb of God cleanses a person’s sin (i.e., as portrayed in the symbolism of washing), one can have no part with Him." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 1611). Nashville, TN: Word Pub.

I won't limit Jesus' power by telling him to constantly cleanse me, which is wrong...

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Heb 10:26–31).

Those who hate the blood are going to hell.

I know I'm way late to the party, here (on this thread), but I think the idea of "giving one's self to God" is a very effective conceptual way of letting go of our own natural selfishness and self-centered fear that we won't get what we need and want, or that we aren't good enough or deserving enough to get what we need and want.

This practice of turning that fear and selfishness over to God is a pathway to "salvation" in the sense that it helps save us from ourselves. Which is something most of us could use some saving from, most of the time.

[B]egin again by re-reading my post...

SD: You must be convicted of sin in order to be saved (John 16:7–11).
Cross Reference: Naah!

"You can laugh your way into hell but you can't laugh your way out." ~ Adrian Rogers Ga 6:7

"...[I]n this case, you are wrong unless sin is the issue."

Sin must be put away (Ac 8:22, 1 Jn 1:7). ]

Which gospel does Adrian Rogers preach?

You thought there were two?

James, also written to you, said you must be a doer of the word and not a hearer only (Jas 1:22). Faith without works is dead (Jas 2:14-26). If you bear no fruits of righteousness (Mt 7:20), either your conversion was not real (more common) or you've walked away from the faith altogether and have broken fellowship with the Lord (2 Pe 2:21-22).

Our Sabbath rest is in the Lord (Lk 6:5). We are saved unto good works (Eph 2:10). We work not out of fear but out of love (Rom. 9:31, 32, 1 Jn 4:19).

You greasy grace teachers1 omit repentance. God gives us grace--to repent (2 Ti 2:25). God saves us from--our sin (Mt 1:21). God forgives us and then wipes away our sin (Ro 6:18).

Don't be claiming he's removed your sins as far from us as the east is from the west (Ps 103:12) or buried them in the sea of his forgetfulness (Mic 7:19) when you're still committing them.

Pray tell how can he forgive you when you've: not repented (Ac 8:22), said you're sorry (Ac 2:37, 38, 2 Cor. 7:9, 10), turned from your wicked ways (Ac 9:35)? Paul said repent turn to the living God (2 Co 6:14-7:1). Peter said repent (Ac 3:19) and by grace you are saved (1 Pe 1:5).

Ask the Lord into your heart, give you life to Jesus, receive God's mercy--however you want to phrase it (Heb 4:12)--get right with God is the point. You greasy grace teachers who leave out repentance, you're not going in the rapture (Mal 4:4-6, Mt 24:14).

God is holy (Is. 11:4, 5). You are not (Ro 3:10). Receive God's mercy (Ac 26:18).

If you think you can: walk down and aisle, sign a card, pray a prayer--live like the devil-- and still go to heaven, you're mistaken (Mal 4:4-6, Mt 24:14).

Which tribe are you? (Jam 1:1).

"One of the first lessons we must learn in reading the Bible is to distinguish between that which is written to us and that which is written for us. Not all the Bible is directed to us, but all the Bible is for us." ~ J. Vernon McGee 2 Ti 3:16


Stay away from sin (Ro 6:23). Walk in holiness (2 Co 6:17).


God I’m running from your heart
I just want to have fun
A mental picture of salvation
But, it’s not inside my heart
I’m livin’ for the world
And I’m gonna be left behi-i-nd (Winfrey) Mk 12:30
