THE WONDER WORKING POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS

************************************************

1. CLEANSING

The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. We have been redeemed from the power of sin and satan by the blood of Jesus. We experience the riches of the grace of God through the shed blood of Jesus. We had no right to demand that Jesus should die for our sins . It was the sheer unmerited grace and favour of God that He gave His Son to die and shed His blood of the remission of our sins. We must acknowledge our sins and ask His forgiveness and the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all sins.

EPHESIANS 1:7

" In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace "

I JOHN 1:7-9

" But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

2. COST

The blood of Jesus is the cost of our salvation . We have not been redeemed with perishable gold or silver. We have delivered from sin and satan by the priceless blood of Jesus . Therefore we are very precious to God since He has paid such an enormous price to purchase us. We must always realise that great price that has been paid to redeem us and be careful not to do anything to jeopardise or salvation.

I PETER 1:18-19

" how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. "

HEBREWS 6:4-6

" It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,

who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,

if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. "

3. CONFIDENCE

The blood of Jesus gives us the courage and confidence to enter the presence of God . Since the blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all sin , we can enter the very throne room of God with full assurance of faith and confidence and receive the mercy and grace that we need in our lives. We need not feel unworthy in the presence of God or feel that we do not deserve any blessing from God . Through the blood of Jesus we can ask God with confidence and receive all the blessings that God has in store for us.

HEBREWS 10:19-23

" Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,

and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. "

HEBREWS4:14-16

" Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. "
