... he had by himself purged our sins... (Hebrews 1:3)

We could not and cannot cleanse ourselves from sin, which is why Jesus did it all by Himself. For this, we must continue to be grateful and continue in faith in Him. What else can we do but trust Him? We enter into that rest He provided.

The Spirit says, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his” (Hebrews 4:10). If we cannot effect our sin purging by good works, we stop trying to please Him but accept that we are pleasing to Him by faith. And furthermore, what works would we do, now that we have received remission of sins? We trust Him again and again for His works to be manifest in us.
