The Blood of Christ the shedding of Jesus Christ’s Blood in the Cross was a factor in order for us to receive forgiveness for our sins and substance into the presence of God. The scripture says “…without the shedding of Blood there is no forgiveness” Hebrews 9: 22.
LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD
“For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves…it is the blood that makes atonement one’s life” (Leviticus 17:11).
When we sin, we earn death. For “The wages of sin is death” Romans 6:23. Jesus paid this penalty for us by shedding His Blood (dying for us- in our place).
Atonement (at-one-ment) means to be made AT ONE with God. Jesus gave his life (shed His Blood) on the Cross for our AT ONE MENT (atonement). This made it possible for us to be AT-ONE with God. Jesus’ Blood means we’re no longer His enemy but his friend, His sons, and daughters. By faith, we accept what He did for us.
WHAT SIN DOES TO OUR LIFE
1. Sin Separates Us From God:
“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear” Isaiah 59: 2
2. Sin Makes Us Feel Guilty
“My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear” Psalms chapter 38:4
3. Sin Allows Satan To Accuse Us
“…the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night” Revelation 12:10
4. Sin Demands The Death Penalty
“…The soul who sins is the one who will die” (Ezekiel 18:4).
