“Saying, ‘This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you’” (Hebrews 9:20)

If you’re saved, Christ purchased you with His blood. That’s why your name was “written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). It’s an amazing thing…God, the great shepherd of men, had to become one of us, live a perfect life and die a perfect death in our place. The first Adam, through his disobedience, brought you death, but Christ, the second Adam, through his obedience, bought you, to give you eternal life.

“For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous” (Romans 5:19). “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:20).

“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself … He made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Ephesians 1:4-7).

Christ’s blood keeps you clean. “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us” (1 John 1:6-10).
