Psalm chapter 51

verse 10

Create in me a clean heart, oh God,

and renew a right spirit within me.

This Psalm is one of the most well-known Psalms.

It's David's confession of sin after he had sinned with and against Bathsheba and her husband and Nathan confronts him

about it and he writes this psalm starting from the very beginning have mercy on me oh God

according to your steadfast love according to your abundant mercy blot out my

transgressions wash me thoroughly from my

inequity, cleanse me from my sin. Every father of Jesus knows what it's like

to cry out to God like this.

This is the moment of salvation

when we see our sin and we confess it before God and we ask for his abundant mercy and

steadfast love to blot out our transgressions by the blood of Jesus Christ

shed on a cross for us.

When we ask him to wash us thoroughly

from our inequity and cleans us from our sin,

this is the point of salvation,

and this is the process of salvation.

Sanctification is the theological term we often use

to describe how we are continually being conformed to the image of Jesus, which involves continually confessing sin when we turn back to transgression and iniquity and confess that before God. He cleanses us and reminds us of the blood of Jesus for us.
