One must understand that there are two types of sin, the sin of rebellion and the sin of accident. This is why, in first John he says that there is a sin that does not lead to death. But there is sin that does lead to death. If I say it is icy outside, and I walk on the ice very carefully, but I still fall. But the next day I can apply the wisdom of God to any situation, where I have fallen in the past, I become wiser because of God’s grace, mercy, and the gift of His Word. So, I throw sawdust on the ice and prevail. So, in the same way, if I say, I’m going to cheat on my taxes, look at something on the Internet, or I intend to do wrong, or even planned to do it, according to the knowledge given to me by God, and continue to choose wrong. It is rebellion. Where there is no repentance, there is no forgiveness of sins. God is calling us to victory. So, like footwashing, we need to wash each other‘s feet. But only God can wash the heart and create in me a new heart.
I am an Ex Jehovah's Witness and these verses opened my heart to Jesus over 2 years ago🥰
