Introduction
Blood is actually used for different things in the Bible.
The blood of Christ accomplishes multiple things as well.
Offers a Life to God
When man and Creation were originally created, it was made by God and it was perfect.
Genesis 1:31
Once man sinned, God lost the perfect man that He had.
When Jesus came from Heaven, He lived a perfect life.
1 Peter 2:22
That perfect life would be offered as a sacrifice back to God.
Romans 5:15
Hebrews 10:12
Life is said to be in the blood.
Leviticus 17:11
Jesus not only shed some blood, but gave up His whole life.
1 John 3:16
Acts as a Cleansing Agent
A cleansing agent is simply something that gets out dirt or stains.
We use cleansing agents such as soap or detergent to get out dirt or stains from dishes, clothing, etc.
Our stain that separates us from God is sin.
Isaiah 59:1-2
Since Jesus lived a perfect life, He was without blemish or spot.
He then offered His perfect blood.
1 Peter 1:18-19
That blood not only served as a perfect sacrifice of a perfect life, but it acts as a cleansing agent to wash away sin.
We come into contact with the death of Christ and His blood in baptism.
Romans 6:4
By coming into contact with His death, we come into contact with His blood which was shed in death.
That blood then acts as a cleansing agent to wash away sin.
Acts 22:16
When you want something really clean, it doesn’t make sense to start with dirty water.
If you want to clean your clothes or dishes, it would be better to start with clean water.
We could not be the perfect sacrifice or the cleansing agent because we have already sinned.
But Jesus’ blood was from a perfect life and is the perfect cleansing agent for our sin.
Seals the Covenant
A covenant is an agreement between people.
Sometimes blood is used to seal the covenant.
In Western movies, the cowboy and Indian might seal their peace agreement by cutting their hands and pressing them together.
They have used blood to seal the covenant.
In modern times we might seal agreements with signatures and handshakes, but in the Old Testament, blood was used to seal the promise that the people made to follow God’s commandments.
Exodus 24:7-8
For the New Covenant, the blood of Jesus was used.
Hebrews 12:24
Luke 22:20
Hebrews 10:29
Conclusion
God loved us enough to send His Son to die as a perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins.
The blood of Jesus:
was the life of Jesus offered back to God
was the cleansing agent to wash away our sins
sealed the covenant between man and God
The grace of God offered His Son as a perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins.
The New Testament states that if we will keep His commandments, we will be added to the church, the body of the saved, the kingdom of God.
Matthew 7:21
Once we are saved, we are washed clean and added to the body which will be presented without blemish.
Ephesians 5:25-27
If we do what God asks, He will give us eternal life.
Revelation 2:10
We know that this agreement is true.
The New Testament has been sealed in the blood of God’s own Son.
