The Blood Of Jesus

THE BLOOD OF JESUS Romans 5:1-12

Today we’re going to talk about the fact that Jehovah God will accept nothing but the Precious Blood of His Only Begotten Son, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for Atonement for our sins. ---

1st peter 1:18-19 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; 19But with the precious blood of Christ,

Romans 5:1-12 1Therefore [this word “therefore” is to do with what we read in chapter 4: telling us that not only Abraham was justified by faith, but we today are likewise justified by faith in JESUS CRIST because of what He accomplished on the Cross in paying our sin debt.} that is, the righteousness of Jesus has been imputed on us.

Romans 5:1-12 1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6For when we were yet without strength, in due time* Christ died for the ungodly.*[that is all lost sinners}

7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure*[perhaps} for a good man some would even dare to die.

8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, *[that is none of us are good} Christ died for us.

9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath* through him. * {Notice not by MARY NOT BY MAHAMED, NOT BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR THING, BUT through Him.}

10For if, when we were enemies, {that is hostile to God} we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. {Saved from the wrath to come as God brings the Great Tribulation on this earth, but not until He has called we that are saved off this earth.}

Paul said in 1st 5:9 9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the at-one-ment.

12Wherefore, as by one-man sin entered into the world, {Adam} and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: {because of Adams sin, the entire human race has inherited sin} GEN.3: 20 Eve is the mother of all living. - Adam & Eve are the parents of the human race-

Listen as I read verse 11 again; 11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the at-one-ment.

Here in Romans 5: and verse 11 is the only place in the N.T. this word, [ at-one-ment is found.

The word is found many times in the O.T. The meaning of the word is at-one-ment, which means, the state of being at one or being reconciled, so atonement is reconciliation. So the word Atonement is used to point out the effect that flows to us from the death of Christ.

And the word Atonement also denotes how this reconciliation is brought about, and that is, the very death of Christ itself; ** and when we realize that it means JEHOVAH GOD is satisfied with His Sacrificial death in our stead.

It means Gods wrath against the lost sinner has been appeased.

But let me stress the point here that His Sacrificial death in dyeing in our stead must be received by faith.

And to do this a person must ask God to forgive him or her of all their sins and receive THE Lord Jesus into their heart by faith.

The apostle John tells us in John 1: 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Let me remind us that all the O.T. sacrifices was a type and shadow of the ultimate Sacrifice that was to come in the N.T., The Lamb of God.

THE WORD TESTAMENT MEANS COVENONT

COVENANT, its biblical meaning is an agreement between two parties

That is, JEHOVAH GOD and the repented sinner.

Heb. 10:28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
