Hebrews 9:12 “Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption”
Considering our great salvation, we must know that it was purchased and paid for by a PERSON (Jesus Christ) as He shed His PRECIOUS blood for us. Note: It was the Apostle Peter who would describe the blood of Jesus as precious. 1 Peter 1:18 “knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
Our verse conveys that SALVATION is PAID for in full. This means that neither He nor we ever need to do anything else. WHAT A SAVIOR and what a salvation for us!!! It should cause us to sing JESUS PAID IT ALL! ALL TO HIM I OWE!!
Speaking of singing, hymn writer Robert Lowery wrote regarding the blood of Jesus, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
“What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Have you been washed in the blood of the Lamb? Hymn writer E. A. Hoffman wrote the hymn Are You Washed?
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
May the consideration of Jesus shedding His precious blood for you bring a response of WORTHY IS THE LAMB!
Continue Strong, thanking Him for purchasing your salvation.
And remember to DATE THE WORD
