THE
BLOOD"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I
have given it to you upon the altar to make an atone-
ment for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh
an atonement for the soul." Leviticus 17:11MAN'S GREATEST NEED The blood of Jesus Christ is God's way of meeting
man's greatest need. God is holy, but man is sinful.
Sin had separated man from God. To be separated
from God a death means to spend eternity in Hell, for
sin must be punished. God will not excuse sin.GOD'S GREATEST SACRIFICE God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die on
the cross as the payment for our sins: "Whom God
hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in
his blood..." Notice in Romans 3:25 that it was God's
plan, not man's: "Whom God hath set forth..."
Second, that Christ died to pay for our sins: "...to be
a propitiation..." Finally, that forgiveness is obtained
simply by trusting what Jesus has done: "...through
faith in his blood..."
Because of the blood, God can show mercy to sin-
ners, yet still remain holy and just. "...that he might
be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in
Jesus." Romans 3:26WHAT WILL JESUS' BLOOD DO? The blood washes and cleanses us from sin.
"Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our
sins in his own blood," Revelation 1:5.
"...and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth
us from all sin." I John 1:7The blood pays for our forgiveness.
"In whom we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins..." Ephesians 1:7.The blood makes peace with God.
"And, having made peace through the blood of his
cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself..."
Colossians 1:20.The blood saves us from God's wrath.
"Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him."
Romans 5:9The blood opens the way to Heaven.
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into
the holiest by the blood of Jesus," Hebrews 10:19.WHAT MUST I DO? Admit your need:
"For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God;" Romans 3:23.
"For I acknowledge my transgressions.... I will be
sorry for my sin." Psalms 51:3 & 38:18Trust God's promises completely:
"...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved..." Acts 16:31."For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works,
lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8,9"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your
vain conversation received by tradition from your
fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of
a lamb without blemish and without spot:"
I Peter 1:18, 19.Cry out to God in prayer:
"...God be merciful to me a sinner." Luke 18:13
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved." Romans 10:13YOUR GREATEST DECISION Jesus shed His blood, was buried, and rose the third
day. At this moment He stands ready, able, and will-
ing to save you. The choice is yours. A song says, "If
the blood of Christ is sufficient for God, it is surely
sufficient for me." It is the blood that satisfies God.
Why not put your trust in Christ's finished work, and
call on Him for salvation now?
"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the
uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever
liveth to make intercession for them."
Hebrews 7:25Dr. Earl White
"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," Revelation 1:5.
