Let’s Talk Blood

We live in a world today.       Ok, I have to start over, because my world is fairly limited, to the United States. My knowledge is very limited, to the rest, of the world.    In these United States that, I live in these is little talk about Jesus. However, there is an abundant talk about religion.  It seems that the masses, of this country are anti-God. You can mention the name of God, and you will often receive some form of backlash. You can mention the name of Jesus, and literally, all hell will break loose!! The general population doesn’t even know that, Jesus is God, and neither do they care.

Aren’t you glad that, our Savior walked this earth, in the form of a man? He could have chosen to just had the authors of the Bible to write about His goodness and mercy, and stayed in Heaven. The only problem was the Father had already set the standards for our sin, and it required blood. Jesus loved the Father so much, and He also loved us, that He willingly came to the earth, as our sin sacrifice.

John 18:37  Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 

When we take the time to stop, and think about the one Who created us, and built this massive playground, that we call the earth, does deserve our praises.  That alone, makes him worthy, of our praise. However, He didn’t stop there. He fulfilled the only way, the only requirement, to unite the people, of this world, with our Father. He shed His sinless blood, as our sacrifice, for the sin that we commit, in our lifetime. Only one sacrifice, of the blood of Jesus, was enough for all the inhabitants of the earth, past, present, and future. Wow!!

1John 1:7  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. 

The blood of Jesus Christ is the most powerful element, found on the earth. It is far more powerful, than the Atoms that we split, to create nuclear fusion. I don’t know why people don’t want anybody, to talk about the blood of Jesus.  Without the shed blood of Jesus, there would be no possibility, of ever having our relationship with the Father restored.

John 6:53  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 

When Jesus said this, nearly two-thousand years ago the people listening were greatly offended. I don’t know exactly what they were thinking, about what Jesus was really saying. I know now, that He was talking about His flesh, being the Word of God. To drink His blood was nothing more than symbolism, to embrace our only way to come, in the presence, of the Father. Without Jesus, and our Father God, we surely don’t have any life in us. 

We were born with a condition, which is known, as Spiritual stillbirth. Every human being, that has ever been born, of a woman has been born, under this condition. We don’t even realize our condition, without the help, of Holy Spirit. We think that we are alright, living a life of sin. There might be things that, we think are wrong for us to be doing, but usually only if we get caught doing them. 

Once Holy Spirit moves on us showing us our sinful state that, we are in, and points us to Jesus, who is our only solution. I realize that I keep saying this, but in the world that, we live in today, they teach that, there are many ways to the Father.  However, the Word of God only teaches that there is one, and once we accept the only way, something marvelous happens, in our life.

Romans 8:15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 

I don’t know how many of you realize this, but the act of adoption is stronger, than true blood ties. Once you adopt a person, into your life, there is no changing your mind. It is a done deal!!  There is no legal act of annulment, and no way to change the situation. You are as much family, as the blood brothers and sisters are in the family. I think that that is great to know, when by the blood of Jesus, you are adopted into the family of the living God!! Once you accept, the sacrifice of the blood offering of Jesus, for you sin, we are eternally, in the family of God. Do you know that this deal is sealed by Holy Spirit?

Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Do you realize how sure that our Salvation is?   Once that we truly believe in Jesus Christ, and the work of the cross, it is a done deal, which will never be taken away from us.  There is a problem though. It is not with our Lord, or with anything to do with the true Spiritual aspect of God. It has everything to do, with the fact that, many of us have been deceived, by our belief.  Satan has deceived us, in believing that we are the children of God, when we are actually not.

Our hope is in something far less, than the saving, and redeeming blood of Jesus Christ, for some of us. Many of us sit in the pews, every time the doors open in our churches, but that will not save us. We claim to be Saved, but have no relationship with our Savior.  Are you one of these?     Ain’t Jesus Awesome?

         ….Much Love
