The Importance of The Blood of Christ

 

Hebrews 9:22 - And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 

 

In Revelation we find that the victory was won through the blood of the Lamb, not through some individual's ingenuity, or physical strength, or even spiritual strength.

 

Revelation 12:11 - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

 

Let’s look at what the Bible says about the Blood of Christ.

  1. It was innocent Blood - Matthew 27:4 - Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.
  2. It was Precious Blood - 1 Peter 1:19 - But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 
  3. It was Sufficient Blood - Hebrews 9:12 - Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 
  4. It was Final - Hebrews 9:24 - For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 

Hebrews 9:25 - Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 

Hebrews 9:26 - For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 

  1. It was Cleansing Blood - 1 John 1:7 - But 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. 
  2. It is Conquering Blood - Revelation 12:11 - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
