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. (1 Corinthians 6:11)

Were.

It reminds me of what I was. A sinner. Condemned. Unclean. Unworthy. Under wrath. Damned. Doomed. Dead.

It reminds me of what I am. A saint. Pardoned. Washed. Accepted. Forgiven. Freed. Hopeful. Alive.

It reminds me of why. Jesus.

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. (1 Timothy 1:15)
