The Precious Blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus:
1. Redeems us
knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. (1 Peter 1:18-19)
2. Brings us near
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13)
3. Washes our sins
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, (Revelation 1:5)
4. Brings peace
and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. (Colossians 1:20)
5. Justifies
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:6)
6. Cleanse from all sins
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)
7. Gives boldness in the day of judgment (Hebrews)
