The blood is important because “… the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1 :7). It is through the blood that we have redemption, “…for thou…hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” (Revelation 5:9).
Through the blood we have “…propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2).
Through the blood we have forgiveness from sin, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7).
Through the blood we have peace with God, “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross … ” (Colossians 1 :20).
Through the blood we have nearness to God, “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2: 13).
Through the blood of Christ we are sanctified, “Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate” (Hebrews 13: 12).
Through the blood we have cleansing from sin as we walk in the light as He is in the light, “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).
Through the blood of Christ we shall have victory over Satan in the last and final conflict, “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” (Revelation 12: 11 ).
There is no salvation without the blood of Jesus. Beware of any religion without the blood! There may be solemn services, but without the blood there is no life. There may be splendid ceremonies, beautiful music, scholarly preachers, but without the blood of Jesus there is no life.
