The Blood

MAN'S GREATEST NEED
Sin has separated man from God. To be separated from
God at death means to spend eternity in Hell, because
God will not excuse sin, and sin must be punished. Man
is sinful, but God is holy. The blood of Jesus Christ is
God's way of meeting man's greatest need.

GOD'S GREATEST SACRIFICE
God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die on the
cross as the payment for your sins: "Whom God hath set
forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood..."
(Romans 3:25) Notice that it was God's plan, not man's:
"Whom God hath set forth..." Secondly, notice that
Christ died to pay for our sins: "...to be a propitiation..."
Finally, this verse states 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 sinners, yet still remain holy and just. "...that he
might be just, and the justi er of him which believeth in
Jesus." (Romans 3:26)

WHAT WILL JESUS' BLOOD DO?
1. The blood washes and cleanses you 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." (1 John
1:7)
2. The blood pays for your forgiveness. "In whom
we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
of sins..." (Ephesians 1:7)

3. 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)
4. The blood saves you from God's wrath. "Much
more then, being now justi ed by his blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through him." (Romans 5:9)
5. The 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 YOU DO?
1. Admit your need. "For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23) "For I
acknowledge my transgressions..." (Psalm 51:3) "For I
will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin."
(Psalm 38:18)
2. Trust 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:" (1 Peter 1:18,19)
3. 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 10:13)

YOUR GREATEST DECISION
Jesus shed His blood, was buried, and rose again
the third day. At this moment He stands ready,
able, and willing to save you. The choice is yours.
A song says, "If the blood of Christ is su cient for
God, it is surely su cient for me." It is the blood
that satis es God.
Why not put your trust in Christ's nished 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 7:25)
"...Jesus Christ...loved us, and washed us from our
sins in his own blood," (Revelation 1:5)
