Hebrews 9:22 NKJV
“And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.”
Hebrews 9:22 NKJV
In the Old Testament, people brought their animals to be sacrificed. The animal's blood is used as a symbol of cleansing their sins.
Year after year, each one will have to work to buy their animals for their sins to be forgiven.
Animals do not live forever. Therefore, the animal's blood covers temporarily only.
The shedding of the blood of the animals is only a temporary fix to remind the people that they need a permanent solution, they need a Saviour.
Jesus came as the answer for all mankind and by His own blood He cleansed mankind from their sins forever.
Jesus who was, is, and forever is the Lord God Almighty cleansed us with His eternal blood that purified us all, once and for all.
The animal's blood is temporary but the blood of Jesus is eternal. Therefore, anyone who receives Jesus as their Lord and Saviour is cleansed by Jesus’s eternal blood.
Life is in the blood and all who receive Jesus receive His life. Therefore they receive His kingdom.
We need to be conscious that His blood is in all who have believed in Him and live in Him.
We don’t need to apply the blood as the old covenant people did. Instead, we give thanks for we are covered in His blood every single second of our lives.
No power can stand against the blood of Jesus and because we are covered by His blood, the enemy cannot touch us.
Let us thank God for His blood that has saved us from the curse of the law, sin, and death. Now we can live in the power of His resurrection.
Blessings
