It's All About The Blood!

A few weeks back, I had to have some bloodwork done. I showed that I had a problem that had returned from last year when I had surgery. This meant I would have to have surgery again! Ugh! I wasn't looking forward to it, as it would have been the 12th time I have gone through surgery. I went to have further testing done three weeks later, and to the doctor's and my amazement, the problem was GONE! Nothing showed anywhere on my tests, as it did in the bloodwork before! The Lord answered a lot of prayer that day for me, and I am still soooo very grateful for His Grace. My point in saying all of this is, that the first thing the doctors ever do when looking for answers to health problems is run bloodwork tests. Why? Because our blood shows EVERYTHING ABOUT US! It is the first place that health problems show in our body, because as the Bible says, it is our LIFE! (Leviticus 17:11). But just as our blood reveals what state our physical condition is, it also shows what our spiritual state is. Jesus' Blood also tells ALL about HIM!

His Blood is PURE, where ours is polluted! Romans 3:23 says, "For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." But, Jesus Blood is sinless! Matthew 27:4 says "the innocent blood." Hebrews 9:14 says, "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself WITHOUT SPOT to God,...". Jesus' Blood is pure and sinless because He is the Son of God! He lived His life here on earth and was "in all points tempted like as we are, yet WITHOUT SIN!" (Hebrews 4:15). Peter tells us "Who did NO SIN, neither was guile found in his mouth:) I Peter 2:22.

His Blood Purges! Our Blood Procures, or reaps to ourselves sin and unrighteousness. Ever since Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, everyone born has gained his sinful nature or blood. Sinning is not what makes us all sinners. We all sin because we ARE SINNERS. We were born that way. But, praise the Lord, Jesus was born to take away that sin! "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith IN HIS BLOOD,, to declare HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS for the remission of sins..." Romans 3:25. "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is NO REMISSION.' (Hebrews 9: 22). "For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation(life) received by tradition from your fathers; But with the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, as of a lamb without spot; Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you." (I Peter 1:18-20).The Lord knew that man would sin and need a Saviour, and had already planned to offer His Only Begotten Son to purge our sins away!

Lastly, His Blood is Perpetual, where ours is a prognosis of death. Our blood will only last as long as we live here on this earth. It will perish with us. But, Jesus' Blood is Eternal! "...but by HIS OWN BLOOD He entered in ONCE, into the holy place, having obtained ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us!" Hebrews 8:12. "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins FOR EVER, sat down on the right hand of God...."For by one offering He hath PERFECTED FOREVER them that are sanctified." Hebrews 10:12 &14. His Blood will NEVER LOSE ITS POWER! It has provided Salvation once and for ALL for all that will accept it!

Have you had a blood transfusion? Have you received Jesus' Holy Blood as the ONLY payment for your sins? Salvation is all about the Blood. We cannot rely on ourselves for salvation because we are polluted, procure sin, and have a prognosis of death. Jesus' Blood is pure, purges and is perpetual. Call on Him for forgiveness of your sin, and receive the healing of His Precious Blood. If you have received His free gift of Salvation already, thank Him today that "by whose (Jesus) stripes ye were healed." (I Peter 2:24).
