BROUGHT NEAR BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:13
There is power, wonder working power in the blood of Jesus
and we have been brought near by the blood of Christ. The Bible clearly states
that there is no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood.
And according to the law almost all things are purified with
blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission.
Hebrews 9:22
In the Old Testament, they relied on the blood of goats and
bulls to cover sins which was just a shadow. In the New Testament, the Lamb of
God shed His own blood on the cross for the remission of sins.
When we believe in Jesus and receive Him as our Lord and
Savior, our sins are removed, totally blotted out and now we have been brought
near.
Now we can have a
living relationship with the living God. Thank God for the blood of Jesus that
washes our sins as white as snow.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD,
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they
are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
Isaiah 1:18
Sin used to separate us from God and that is what happened
with Adam. When Adam sinned, he was separated from God, he became estranged
from God, but thank God for the blood of Jesus that has brought us near.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of His grace.
Ephesians 1:7
Thought of the day: I have been brought near to God by the
blood of Jesus Christ.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the blood of Jesus
Christ that washed away my sins, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
