The Lord's words in the scripture of the Gospel of John chapter eight show futility is in not believing that He, Lord Jesus Christ, is. Not believing He exists. Not believing He lives now and ever as He lived. Not believing He lives having died. Not believing His life and existence predated people such as Abraham and Moses in ancient times. Not believing He is pre-eminent as Lord and Christ. All this unbelief leaves a person falling short of the prerquisite to being cleansed of unworthiness by Him and by the washing of the Spirit and the word of God the Father and the application of that word by believers.
