You are saved right? Yes you are, but let's examine a portion of the scriptures together.
John 13:10 - NIV:Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”

John 13:10

The Bible says "those who have had a bath". The disciples which Jesus is addressing here have been with him pretty long, they were part of his ministry and more so they were the one Jesus intended to leave the gospel with. So I see them as the ones that have had their bath. Though the Bible says not everyone of them is clean ( he meant Judas Iscariot).

There is this popular Christian hymn "Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power". The first line of the chorus reads "Are you washed in the blood of the lamb." And to be washed in the blood of the lamb you have to "acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, rely on the truth) that God raised Him (Jesus) from dead. Romans 10:9 Amplified version. (Emphasis mine). Literally, those Jesus was talking about are those that have been saved.

In our reference verse (John 13:10), Jesus went further to say "these people are the one that need to wash their feet." Let's first think of that like this. "It's not possible for you not to bathbut just washed your feet and say you are clean." I have seen unbelievers who don't steal, they don't covet others' property. In short, they kept Exodus 20 commandments but yet they don't believe in Christ. I term them as moralist, they kept moral laws. So they need to bath first to be clean.

But Jesus said those that have had their bath need to wash their feet. I see this as a time to time check up of oneself. Medical doctors will recommend a time-to-time medical checkup to run all test just to ensure that you are healthy and so Jesus as the great physician is also recommending that you wash your feet and make sure they are clean just like apostle Paul told the church in Corinth in his second letter that "AMP:Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?"

Wash your feet time to time

Remember, those that have been saved need to wash their feet time to time. I pray it is well with our soul.
