The blood of Jesus cleanses us. That says what cleanses, not how.

"That says what cleanses, not how."
Here is the "how"
For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.
- Rom 3
God has put Christ forwards as a blood-soaked propitiation (a sacrifice that satisfies God's justice and reconciles God to man). This forgiveness God offers us is a free gift received by faith.
Just like all the sick and lame in the NT, they came, they asked by faith and they were freely healed.
