No Blood-No Remission!!

No Blood-No Remission!!
There are a lot of people today who try to add to the
finished work of Jesus Christ. There are those who say
that one must be baptized or join the church, or hold
out faithful to the end, in order to be saved. There
are those who get people to say they believe in Christ
and then say that they are saved. There is more to
being saved than just a simple profession. There must
be a conviction of sin and an acceptance by faith in
the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Many people are
deceived by Satan into believing that they are saved
when they are not really born again.

The Bible is clear in the fact that it is only through
faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, in
His complete and perfect sacrifice, that alone is the
way people are saved.

Redeemed Through Blood

As the scripture says, "...we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of his grace" (Eph. 1:7). To be redeemed means
to be bought back. The price has been paid and it is
through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Peter reminds us of this when he says, "Forasmuch as
ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold... But with the precious
blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and
without spot:" (1 Peter 1:18-19).

Justified by Blood

To be justified means to be declared free. We know the
Bible teaches that all are sinners. all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God, there is none
righteous, no, not one. No one deserves to be saved
because of his goodness, but thank God, Jesus Christ
died for sinners, shed His precious blood because of
His love for us. The scripture says, "Much more then,
being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him." (Rom. 5:9). the word
justified literally means "just as if I had never
sinned." The blood of Jesus Christ is what has paid
for our sins.

Washed in His Blood

There are some who believe that WATER baptism washes
away sins. This is not scriptural. The Bible says,
"Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins
in his own blood" (Rev. 1:5). When one hears the Word,
the Holy Spirit takes the word and convicts or sin, of
righteousness, of judgment and works godly sorrow
which brings repentance and faith; faith in the shed
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our sins are washed
away in His blood.

Made Nigh by Blood

Man is alienated from God, strangers from the covenant
of promise, no hope without God in the world! "But now
in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made
nigh by the blood of Christ" (Eph. 2:13). Jesus broke
down the middle wall of partition and makes the way
possible for us to enter into the very presence of God
because He has sprinkled His blood on the mercy seat
as an atonement for our sins. Therefore, we are made
nigh by His blood.

Sanctified by Blood

The word sanctify means set apart from our sins, set
apart from the world through the blood of Jesus
Christ. As Paul says, "Wherefore Jesus also, that he
might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered
without the gate" (Heb. 13:12). Jesus was crucified
outside the city of Jerusalem on that old hill called
Calvary in order that we might be set apart from our
sins. He shed His own blood on that cross. What can
make me whole again, nothing but the blood of Jesus?
What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of
Jesus? We are sanctified by His blood.

Peace through Blood

Man is at odds with God. We have sinned against Him.
We have been alienated from Him, but thank God through
the blood of Jesus Christ, we can have peace with Him.
Paul says, "And, having made peace through the blood
of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
himself" (Col. 1:20).

Cleansed through Blood

God's children are redeemed through the blood and
justified through the blood, washed in His blood, made
high by the blood, sanctified by the blood, and have
peace through the blood and daily we are cleansed by
the blood of Jesus. We plead the blood of Jesus. For
John says, "If we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship one with another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all
sin" (1 John 1:7). In other words, we stay in
fellowship with Jesus Christ our Saviour by daily
trusting in the cleansing blood. "if we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (verse 9).
This means that the daily walk of the children of God
are cleansed by the blood of Jesus.

Conscience Purged by Blood

When one understands the real meaning of being
forgiven our sins, and having the Spirit of God living
within us as children of God, one will want to live
for Jesus. The Holy Spirit puts that desire in our
heart and Paul reminds us that it wasn't the blood of
goats and calves, but by His own blood He has obtained
eternal redemption for us and says, "how much more
shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal
Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
(Heb. 9:14).

Just think of it, Christ died for my sins. Jesus shed
His precious blood, gave His all that I might be saved
from the guilt and penalty and finally from the
presence of sin. I owe Him everything I am.

Bought with a Price

I do not belong to myself. If you are saved you do not
belong to yourself. you are bought by the precious
blood of Jesus Christ. This should, and will cause us
to want to live for Him. As Paul says, "Ye are not
your own? for ye are bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which
are God's" (I Cor. 6:19-20).

What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of
Jesus? What can make me whole again, nothing but the
blood of Jesus? So, there is no remission outside the
blood of Jesus. You cannot mix blood and water, or
blood and church membership, or blood and works, or
any other thing, simply through faith in the blood of
Jesus Christ do we have remission of our sins. Praise
God for salvation by grace through faith in the
finished work of Christ! If you have not received Him
by faith, why not today? catcmo2006
