Have you been redeemed, washed in the “Blood”?
For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1 Peter 1:18-19 King James Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Are you under the “Blood”? Have you been redeemed by the “Blood”, washed in the “Blood”? Do you fully understand what this means? Or are you still receiving the traditions of men concerning remission of sin? Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the “Law”, from our life of sin and the sin nature we were born with and from our separation from God. He offered His blood upon God’s heavenly altar once for ALL sin. It’s over, it’s a done deal, we have nothing else to do except to receive it! We were not redeemed with silver and gold, or with the things of men, or with our own futile works, or by our confessions to a priest, but only by the precious blood of Jesus. All that remains is for you to make Jesus the ‘Lord’ of your life. That and that alone redeems you from the curse. The ‘Blood’ of Jesus is the ONLY thing can (has-past tense) redeemed us from sin. He paid the price required by God for the remission of sin, our sin! (Heb 9:22, And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.)
MY PRAYER…
Most Holy Father, thank You for making a way for me where there was no way. Thank You Lord that You sent Your Son to redeem me, to shed His blood for the remission of my sin. Thank You Lord that He willingly became the sacrifice required for my sin. That He placed His blood upon Your Holy Altar that I might be redeemed and have remission of sin. Thank You Jesus for paying the price for me, for being my Substitute. Through my Redeemer, my Lord, and my Saviour, Jesus, I pray.
Amen
