1 Peter 1:17-2117 And if you call on the Father,

who without partiality judges according to each one's work,

conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18

knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things,

like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,

19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without

blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times

for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him

from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in

God.  

What word of the Bible does Satan hate and fear more than

any other?

"Blood"

The blood of Jesus is Precious because of who He is!

Revelation 5:8-108 Now when He had taken the

scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of

incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the

scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have

redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the

earth."

The blood of Jesus is precious because of why He came.

Galatians 3:13-1413 Christ has redeemed us from

the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is

written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"), 14 that the

blessing of Abraham might comeupon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus,

that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The blood of Jesus is precious because of what it provides.

1. Redemption

1 Peter 1:18-1918 knowing that you were not

redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by

tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and

without spot.

Ezekiel 18:20"The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the

father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness

of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the

wicked shall be upon himself."

Romans 3:23"for all have sinned and fall short

of the glory of God"....

2. Forgiveness

Ephesians 1:7"In Him we have redemption

through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of

His grace"...

3. Justification

Romans 5:9 "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we

shall be saved from wrath through Him."

Romans 5:17"For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive

abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ."

 4. Reconciliation 

Colossians 1:19-2019 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether

things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace

through the blood of His cross.

5. Sanctification

Hebrews 13:12"Therefore Jesus also, that He

might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the

gate."

6. Access to God

Hebrews 10:19-2219 Therefore, brethren, having

boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new

and living way which He consecrated for us, through the

veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the

house of God,

22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,

having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies

washed with pure water.

7. Daily Forgiveness

1 John 1:7"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."

1 John 1:9"If we confess our sins, He is

faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all

unrighteousness."  

1 John 2:1-21 My little children, these things I

write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an

Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for

ours only but also for the whole world. But if we walk in the light as

He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another

 

Why is the blood of Jesus precious?

 Hebrews 9:27"And as it is appointed for men to

die once, but after this the judgment"...
