SALVATION THROUGH THE BLOOD

SALVATION THROUGH THE BLOOD
Scriptures: Leviticus 17:11, Hebrews 9:22
Topic: Salvation through the Blood 

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."
Leviticus 17:11

"And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission."
Hebrews 9:22

Through the blood of Jesus salvation has come to the world. The scripture reveals five different steps that are taken on the road to salvation through the blood of Jesus. Through the blood of Jesus salvation has come to the world.  The scripture reveals five different steps that are taken on the road to salvation through the blood of Jesus.  
The first step to salvation is FORGIVENESS THROUGH THE BLOOD.
"In whom we have redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, according to the riches of his grace; wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence."
Ephesians 1:8
Through the blood of Jesus you receive the first step towards your salvation – forgiveness.  Forgiveness means that God has stopped feeling angry about you.  He has pardoned you and written off your debts. You are discharged from your obligation and God is no more resentful towards you. 

The second step to salvation is CLEANSING THROUGH THE BLOOD.
"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…. "
1 John 1:7
After being forgiven you need cleansing. This process takes you one-step further than forgiveness did.  You may be forgiven but there is often a scent of the past evils that we were involved with

The third step to salvation is SANCTIFICATION THROUGH THE BLOOD.
"For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.  Wherefore Jesus also, that he might SANCTIFY THE PEOPLE WITH HIS OWN BLOOD, suffered without the gate.  Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach"
Hebrews 13:11-13
Sanctification takes you even further than forgiveness and cleansing do.  It means you have been set apart for a sacred religious purpose.  It is only the sanctifying power of the blood of Jesus that can move you so far from your past evil state.  This is the power that can utterly transform a criminal into a priest of God!  This power is the sanctifying power of the blood of Jesus.  
Peter called himself “elect” according to the sanctification of the spirit and sprinkling of the blood.  “Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the father, through sanctification of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied” (1 Peter 1:2).  He had been elevated from being a fisherman to becoming the head of the worldwide church.  How How did that happen?   It happened through the sanctifying power of the blood of Jesus.   
The fourth step to salvation is REDEMPTION THROUGH THE BLOOD.

"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and HAST REDEEMED US TO GOD BY THY BLOOD out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."  
Revelation 5:9-10
"In whom we have REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."               
Ephesians 1:7
The next step in the process of salvation is to be redeemed. To redeem is to get, to win, or to buy someone or something back.  To redeem means to buy back a slave. Christ has legally bought has back from the devil’s slave camp.  He paid for us with His blood. When God went shopping, He decided to buy you back to Him and He paid the bill with His blood. 
We all use things that we have not bought.  You may hire a car instead of buying it.  You may hire a dress without buying it. You may live in a house without buying it.  God could have related with us without buying us back to Him.  God has, however, decided to forgive us and to buy us back from the devil!  He wants to have a permanent relationship with us.  
When God buys you from the devil’s slave camp, you belong to him permanently.  Your forgiveness, your cleansing and your sanctification are permanent. You belong to God. The devil cannot make any more claims to your life.  Your life has been paid for with the blood.   
The fifth step to salvation is RECONCILIATION THROUGH THE BLOOD.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be A PROPITIATION THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." 
Romans 3:23-26
Another great blessing that come to us through the blood of Jesus is reconciliation. Final reconciliation with God comes because you are forgiven, cleansed, sanctified and redeemed. You can now enjoy a reconciled relationship with God.  This is what propitiation is all about. 
Propitiation involves a regaining of the favour and the goodwill that you lost with God. Through the blood of Jesus you will appease the heavenly Father and restore your relationship with Him.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
