The Blood of Jesus Christ
Understand the atoning work of Christ and what His sacrifice means for believers. In the Old Testament, priests offered animal sacrifices for the covering of sin. Jesus became the final and perfect sacrifice once for all.
Key Scriptures (NKJV)
“knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
— 1 Peter 1:18-19
“And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.”
— Hebrews 9:22
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”
— Ephesians 1:7
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.”
— Romans 5:8-9
