Ephesians 1:4 says, “Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love…” This same verse outlines a third impartation that God does for us. Being without blame is the issue of having faith in being guiltless in your conscience. 1 John 3:18-21 says, “My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but indeed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.” Why does God declare that we are holy and that we are without blame? Could it be that we cannot relate to God as family in confidence in our heart if we do not know that we are without blame? Being tormented with a mind filled with shame and accusations is a huge roadblock to Christian maturity. The blood of Christ forgives us all sin. The blood of Christ makes us blameless. We have often sung the song, ‘There is power, power wondering working power in the blood of the Lamb.’ The power of that blood does something absolutely essential for relationship. Why do we have so few people that can move the Hand of God like Paul did not only in healings and miracles but also in judgment? Perhaps because too many believers do not walk in such a way as to protect their hearts. We cannot move God’s Hand if we have guilt. We can only move His Hand in faith if we have the assurance that our guilt is atoned in the blood of the Lamb.
