Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
We have redemption through His blood.
It is His blood that sets us free from sin and saves us from eternal condemnation.
It is His blood that washes us clean and lets us present ourselves spotless before the Father.
His blood is something that is valuable beyond anything on earth or in heaven. There is no price that can be put upon His blood.
I dare to say that NOTHING can ever be compared to the blood of Christ. Nothing. There is nothing else known to man that can set someone free from their sins. Only the blood of Christ can do this.
But there’s a problem. The church has reached a place where it treats the blood of Christ as a commodity to be named and used in whatever way we see fit to use it.
We hear people plead the blood of Jesus over so many things… our homes, our cars, our money, our earthly possessions, all in an effort to protect them from harm. It happens every single day around the world.
Let me be bold and say something that needs to be said. This Needs To Stop.
The blood of Jesus is not an insurance policy to be used and tossed around like a cheap tarp that can cover our belongings and protect them from a storm or any other type of physical damage. The blood of Jesus is not something that we, especially as believers, should take lightly enough to claim or plead over anything, except our own souls!
So we want to remind everyone today that the blood of Christ is precious… more precious than anything else we will ever encounter.
Let’s be sure to treat it as such and not cheapen it with our selfish wants and desires. Amen?
Amen
