They do not deserve having sins washed away, they did not earn it, it is a gift from God for those who accept Jesus as savior.
God bless you for revealing that truth!
John 3 says we must be born again. Unless we are born again we can't accept Jesus as our savior. And then John 3 goes on to explain:
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Jesus doesn't automatically save
everyone in the world. There is a distinction between believers(sheep) and unbelievers(goats).
The deeds of believers are wrought in God. God begins the new work so that we can know a Christian from one who is not. Jesus said:
John 14:23
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word.
My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him."
John 15:10
If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love.
1 John 2:3
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him:
if we keep His commandments.
I'm not assuming you don't know this. I believe you do. Hopefully others are reading these verses, too.
New Living Translation
Philippians 1:6
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
English Standard Version
Philippians 1:6
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Romans 8 KJV
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded
is death; but to be spiritually minded
is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Christian love and prayers for each one who reads this post.
