Joan Boney … apostle/prophet
None of us are worthy of salvation.
Only Jesus was without sin because Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit and not of the sin nature of man.
We are cleansed of our past sins by the blood of Jesus who died for our sins, not for HIS own sins for HE had no sins.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
I John 1:7 the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.
***
When we belong to God, we are sorry when we do wrong, when we sin … That is the time to cry out to God and accept the cleansing of the blood of Jesus.
That which we could not do for ourselves, Jesus, The Word, did for us.
Only Jesus is worthy.
Revelation 5 And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And HE came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when HE had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

The Word was made flesh so HE, in the form of a human, could die for our sins.
HE, Jesus, The Word is worthy.
We can never be worthy except through HIM.
All those things we might try to do to make ourselves worthy will fail.
When we accept by faith that we are made worthy through HIM, through The Word Jesus, and receive The Word on the various issues of this life, we accept the worthiness of HIM.
We come to God through Jesus, The Word. And HE causes us to reign on this earth through the Word given to us concerning the problems of this life. We overcome through HIM as we do what HE tells us in the issue at hand.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I (The Word) am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (The Word).

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.3 All things were made by Him (The Word); and without Him (The Word) was not any thing made that was made.
4 In Him (The Word) was life; and the life was the light of men.
***
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh (and called Jesus), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
***
After we are born again, we no longer want to do those sins we once did.
After we are born again, we have a power of God to know sin and resist sin that we did not have before we were born again.
God gives us HIS own Spirit after we are born again. HIS Spirit lives in us and teaches us and guides us and comforts us and reminds us of everything Jesus, The Word, has said to us so we can know what to do in the situations of this present life.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
***
As we live on this earth the Word of God rises up in us to show us what to do in the midst of troubles. We do the Word and are recreated in the image of Christ who is The Word. This happens as long as we live on this present earth.
We follow HIM, The Word, into the Kingdom of God for eternal life, doing The Word which is put into our hearts and minds by HIS Spirit, by the Holy Spirit of The Word.
