Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "The Blood" 1Peter 1:18-19, Hebrews 9:22, Romans 6:23, Leviticus 17:11
Why blood?
Because w/o the shedding of blood there is no remission.
(Hebrews 9:22)
The shedding of blood shows the grievousness of our sin
toward God. The wages of sin of is death (Romans 6:23)
And the life is in the blood. (Leviticus 17:11)
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the
blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement
for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the
soul.
But the blood of innocent animals could never pay for a
man’s sin. (Hebrews 10:4)
We needed a better sacrifice, a holy and willing
sacrifice. God’s blood!
1Peter1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not
redeemed with corruptible things, as
silver and gold, from your vain conversation received
by tradition from your fathers;
1Peter 1:19
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot:
So
now you know that He had
to come and to die, if we were to have any hope of forgiveness for
our sin. It could not have been anyone else.
Remember sin
cannot be forgiven, it must be paid for. Sinners are forgiven.
Sinners are
forgiven when they receive the free gift of atonement offered to
whosoever will.
No matter who
you are, (and you are a sinner – make no mistake about that) if you
reject this payment of the lifeblood of Jesus for your sin then you
must die for your own sin and His blood was shed in vain for you.
For those of us who trust in His blood, we are eternally
secure. The blood will never fail. Fear not for: Php
1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a
good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
