What the Blood of Christ does for you

The Blood of Jesus is proof that HE LOVES YOU!

You were God’s idea. He loved you before the world began. Revelation 1:5 says “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and washed us from our sins by His own blood…”Notice the order in which God does this marvelous work. He loved us FIRST. Then He washed us. He does not love what is washed, but instead, He washes what He loves! That's YOU!God gave His very best to purchase you and PROVE to you how valuable you are to Him.The value of something is determined by the price in which someone would pay for it—and God paid the ultimate price FOR YOU! Why would He pay that high a price for something He didn’t value? He wouldn’t. So, His blood is proof of the worth and value He places on you.Jesus’ blood purchases you for the Father! He paid the greatest price so that you would never have to question His love. He paid for you with His blood to bring you to Him—and now NOTHING can separate you from His Love. (Ephesians 2:13, Romans 8:38-39) The blood of Jesus has brought you right into the presence of God, and into a close, intimate fellowship with God the Father. Enjoy His love today, and believe you are fully accepted in His presence now. 

The Blood of Jesus WASHES You!

Revelation 1:5 “To Him who loves us and washed us from our sins by His blood…”Remember the Father washed us! When you love something, you take care of it—whether it’s a car, a home or something more precious like a child. Well, God loves you so much, that He couldn’t fathom your sin separating you from His holy presence for eternity. So, He did something about it. He washed you. He removed your sin. Sin brings death. But He could only remove it with something more powerful than sin and death. The Bible says that LIFE is in the blood. So, the spotless blood of Jesus, brings His LIFE, canceling out our sin and death! Life conquers death! God does not merely cover our sins; He removes them and washes them completely away as if they had never been. The blood washes our sins away; and washes us, making us pure and holy. But it doesn’t stop there. Jesus’ blood redeems us from the curse of the law. The curse of the law included shame, sickness, disease, emotional illness, family problems and so much more. But Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law and its effects. The curse and its effects have no hold on you anymore!The precious blood of Jesus reconciles you to God. When you are washed by the blood of Jesus, you are made right with God. Now, when God sees you, He does not see a sinful former version of you, He sees the cleansed and purified new version of you. In fact, when God sees you, He sees Jesus! 1 John 4:17 "because as He is, so also are we in this world." This is why you can now have an unhindered and unbroken fellowship with God. The sin that separated us from Him has been completely paid for, removed, and washed away! What can wash away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! 

The Blood of Jesus MAKES You Something!

Revelation 1:5–6 “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins by His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen." He loved us, He washed us, and He MADE US SOMETHING. What did he make you?He made you a King. The blood not only proves God's love, It not only washes our sins away, but It MAKES us something that we weren't before. It makes us kings in this life. Romans 5:17 says, through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, we reign as KINGS in this life. Jesus is the King of Kings. And His blood makes you and me the kings that He is the King of! As a child of God, you are NOW in the royal family, and that makes you ROYALTY. You are now made to rule over life's problems, reign over the devil's attacks, and have dominion over sin & the power of the enemy. You are a king.He made you a priest. Under the old covenant law, only the priest could go before God on behalf of the people. And multiple requirements had to be met including bringing the blood of an animal to the mercy seat to atone for the people's sin. But because of the blood of Jesus, YOU now have direct access to the throne of God. You are a priest! He made you holy. You are sanctified and set apart by the blood of Jesus to go before God on your behalf and on behalf of others to pray with power when needed. You have the authority now, to bless others, as a priest would bless people in the Old Covenant. Oh, beloved, you are NOW made a king and a priest before God, by the precious blood of Jesus!He made you righteous. Romans 5:9 says we have been made righteous by His blood. That simply means we are now right with God and have the biblical rights of children of God. By His blood, we can stand before God without guilt, inferiority, condemnation, shame, or fear. It also means we can stand boldly in the face of our mistakes, and not be shamed away from God's presence. We can stand up to the enemy, and he must flee! Yes, the blood of Jesus did all that!
