1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Hebrews 9:13-14 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
When Jesus went to Calvary as the Lamb of God, the blood He shed was pure, precious, sinless blood; satisfying the just demands of a Holy God. The blood of Jesus buys us back from the power of sin, releases us from sin’s bondage, and frees us to live for Christ when we believe on Him.
Heaven and all it offers belong only to those washed in the blood of the Lamb---born again, as Jesus told Nicodemus. There’s no other way to enter that city, but through the precious blood of Jesus!
There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's vein,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
William Cowper
