1 John 1:7-9 KJV says, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. [8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Walking in the light requires that we strive against sin because the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23. The death spoken of here is the second death and it means eternal damnation and separation from God. We may indeed fall short and sin, but God provides a way to cleanliness. Finding forgiveness after baptism starts with 1 John 1:9, but there are a few other verses wherein one can find direction for forgiveness.

James 5:16 KJV Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

James 5:20 KJV Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8 KJV And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Your salvation depends on being found clean through the blood of Christ. Being cleansed of sin comes from being properly baptized into the family of Christ, living your life striving against sin, confession, prayer, and love. Christ will help you in your battle against sin. I know this because he set me free. Remember to call upon the Lord. Live (walk in the light), learn (read your Bible and attend Church), and love (love the Lord and love one another).
