1. From the Shadow to the Substance: The Atonement Completed
The entirety of the Old Testament system was a shadow pointing toward the ultimate reality found in Christ (Hebrews 10:1).
The constant shedding of animal blood was a yearly reminder of humanity's sin and God's holiness. This ancient process of atonement—the covering of sin—was temporary, limited, and continuously required a high priest to enter the Most Holy Place.
<>   From The Shadow (Old Covenant System) To The Substance (Blood Of Jesus):
- Life is in the Blood: The foundational law was established in Leviticus 17:11: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life." Blood was sacred because it represented life itself.
-
The Infinite Exchange: The writer of Hebrews makes it clear that "it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins" (Hebrews 10:4).
The blood of any creature could only cover sin; it could not remove it entirely because the sin was against an infinite God and required an infinite, perfect sacrifice.
Jesus, being the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29), offered His own perfect, divine life essence—His blood—once and for all. He did not merely cover our debt; He paid it in full (teleo in Greek: "It is finished," John 19:30). -
A New and Living Way: The Blood of Christ secures eternal redemption (Hebrews 9:12). Because of this singular, perfect act, the dividing curtain in the temple that separated man from God's presence was torn in two (Matthew 27:51).
We now have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place—God’s direct presence—not through a human priest or animal sacrifice, but "by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh" (Hebrews 10:19-20).
2. The Three-Fold Power From The Blood Of Jesus Christ
The benefits and power derived from the Blood of Jesus Christ are multifaceted, impacting our past, present, and future standing before God. It is a spiritual medicine cabinet containing everything we need for life and godliness.
<>   The 3 benefits And Power Derived From The Blood Of Jesus Christ:
-
1. Redemption and Forgiveness: The Blood of Christ purchases our freedom. The word redemption means "to buy back" or "release by ransom."
We were slaves to sin, but Christ paid the price. Ephesians 1:7 declares: "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace."
Our sins are not just ignored; they are washed away (Revelation 1:5) and removed as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). -
2. Justification and Peace: The Blood establishes our righteous standing. To be justified means to be declared righteous—as if we had never sinned. Romans 5:9 states: "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."
This justification makes peace with God (Colossians 1:20), ending the state of hostility and alienation caused by sin. We are no longer enemies but adopted sons and daughters. -
3. Sanctification and Cleansing: The Blood makes us holy and enables us to serve. Sanctification is the ongoing process of being made holy. Hebrews 13:12 says, "Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate."
The Blood cleanses not just our actions, but our very consciences from "dead works" so that we may genuinely "serve the living God" (Hebrews 9:14). This ongoing cleansing process is active for believers who confess their sins (1 John 1:7).
3. Victory Over The Accuser And The New Covenant Life
The spiritual power of the Blood extends beyond our past forgiveness and present standing; it is our weapon and our identity in spiritual warfare.
The Overcoming Word
The book of Revelation reveals a powerful truth about spiritual victory. Believers overcome the accuser of the brethren (Satan, the Devil) "by the blood of the Lamb..."
(Revelation 12:11).31
The enemy’s primary tactic is accusation: which is the main root for blackmail, slander, gainsaying, bad mouthing, gossiping, backbiting, vain talking, and unnecessary talk that genders strife and contentions. The Devil, the Accuser, uses all this and other tactics to constantly remind us of our past sins, weaknesses and short comings.
He is the master manipulator, hypocrite and slanderer; and neither will he play fair-he cheats and robs all the time. The ultimate weapon that he uses is to lie. It does not matter how old the matter is, to him hw will use it to steal, destroy and if he succeeds to kill as well!
Our decisive answer is not our own goodness (it is but only filthy rags nothing more and we can never win when we want to go that route, we are powerless), but the finished, sufficient work of the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Our testimony simply declares what the Blood has already accomplished, glory be to the Mighty God!
A Covenant of Promise
Our Heavenly Father will not leave us confortless in this cruel and wicked world that we find ourselves in...
At the Last Supper, Jesus Himself took the cup and said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you" (Luke 22:20). The Blood seals the New Covenant, moving us from a relationship based on human performance under the Law to one based on God’s promise and grace through Christ’s sacrifice.
This covenant includes the promise of the indwelling Holy Spirit and the ultimate forgiveness of sins. Lets look at it on Jeremiah:
...And the Holy Ghost, all thanks to God, is the comforter (John 14:26) that God Almighty gave us to be with us forever, hallelujah!
Precious and Unblemished
The Lord Jesus is Holy because He never did any sin...if He did then His blood will be useless and neither would God the father resurrected Him from the dead by His Spirit, because He would have failed the ultimate mission, "to save mankind by his sacrifice and holy blood...!"
The Apostle Peter underscores the value of this sacrifice, stating that we were redeemed "not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot" (1 Peter 1:18-19).
The Blood is precious because it is perfectly holy and infinitely sufficient—it holds a value that transcends all earthly measures.
Furthermore, this is the blood of God Himself, so much more the Lord has achieved with His blood than we can comprehend and understand in this life time the way His Blood is so powerful, and infinitely sufficient!
Living Under The Banner Of The Blood
There is a lot more we can teach about the blood of jesus, that even a book can contain.... There is so much wealth and revelations that needs to be discovered about the precious blood of the Lam fo God Almighty, hallelujah!
The Blood of Jesus Christ is the ultimate sign of God’s unmerited, overwhelming grace. It is the bridge back to God, the end of our striving, and the beginning of our life in Christ...
...It means that our biggest problem—our sin—has been definitively solved, not by our tears or our toil, but by a substitutionary act of divine love. We are called to live our lives fully reliant on this truth. We do not need to fear condemnation (Romans 8:1), nor do we need to shrink back from God’s presence (Hebrews 4:16).
Instead, we walk in boldness, peace, and continuous cleansing because the powerful, precious, and permanent crimson stream of Christ’s sacrifice remains active and sufficient. The Blood of Jesus is the glorious reality of the Gospel—a gift that calls for our humble faith and eternal gratitude.
Let us ever testify to the power of the Blood that ransomed us and bought us near to God, and has made holy and spotless!
The Lord Jesus is returning for His holy and spotless Bride that lives under the banner of His blood until he returns, in Jesus Mighty Name! Be clean, ready and overcome by His blood, because is already here!
