It Is About The Precious Sinless Blood Of Jesus

While making my research on false teachers and false doctrines, I came across one God-forsaken ministry website, teaching a rather strange & diabolic doctrine called the gospel of the spirit and water, this ministry teaches that it was not the blood of Jesus that saved us, but his baptism, they so much exaggerated & elevated the baptism of Jesus above his dead and shedding of his blood on Calvary’s cross, I will therefore refute these erroneous teaching.

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. (John 6:53)

Here we see Jesus, telling the people that it is through his blood that man would have life.

Anyone teaching otherwise is of the devil, had it been not for the shed blood of Jesus, humanity would have been lost without hope, it is the death and the shedding of the blood of Jesus that redeemed man from the wrath of God, how could anyone in his normal mind say that it was not the blood of Jesus that saves us, but rather his baptism, I think such a one needs deliverance, are we despising the riches of God & trampling underfoot the Son of God?

If anyone rejects the reality of the blood of Jesus, such a person has no life as Jesus has said, we have the life of God through the blood of Jesus, it is his blood that cleanses us from all unrighteousness and sets us apart unto God, it is the blood that makes us God’s children.

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13)

You see, the whole pages of the New Testament is full of the attestation of the reality of the blood of the Son of God, there is no way we can come nearer to God without the precious sinless blood of Jesus Christ, God looks at us through the blood, to say that the blood is not important is just like saying that Jesus is not the immaculate only begotten Son of God.

The bible made it clear that we were sometimes God’s enemies & very far away from him, but now through the precious sinless blood of Jesus we are not only God’s children but also his friends and joint heirs with Jesus Christ the Son over God’s house.

We through the shed blood of Jesus have become fellow citizens of God’s kingdom.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, (Hebrews 10:19)

Praise the LORD, we now have access to God’s throne through the blood of Jesus, there is no where in the scripture was it said that we access to God through Jesus baptism, the gospel and epistle writers point strongly towards the shed blood of Jesus, to come to God, one must be washed by the blood of Jesus, if anyone refuses to receive cleansing through the blood of Jesus, such a one is God’s ardent enemy & the only thing awaiting him is damnation.

Through the blood, we have the boldness to enter into God’s very presence without fear or trembling, if person does not believe in the blood, he has no place in God’s kingdom.

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Hebrews 13:20-21)

We are made perfect through the sanctifying power in the blood of Jesus, God builds us up in holiness & sanctification through the blood of his Son Jesus Christ, it is the blood that empowers us to do the extra-ordinary, without the blood of Jesus we are powerless & most miserable of all men, if we remove the blood of Jesus from our daily lives and prayers we will end up in total defeat & disaster, the Devil would make a glaring mockery & idiots of us, do you think that the Devil is afraid of you, no not at all, what makes him powerless and fearful before God’s children is the covering that the blood gives us, the blood protects us from his fiery darts, the blood protects us from his daring accusations, the blood protects us from his deadly arrows, the blood does everything for us, if we therefore say that it is not about blood, we are altogether most miserable, our life can only be assured & secured in the blood, apart from the precious sinless blood of Jesus Christ, we are defenceless and mortally dead in our trespass & ignorance.

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. (1 Peter 1:2)

We are or become God’s elect through the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ by the sanctification of the Spirit which leads unto obedience, we who believe should forever be grateful to God, for letting his Son to shed his precious sinless blood for our sake.

Those who are teaching otherwise are of the Devil and it is our duty to keep away from them and alert the unsuspecting about their deadly fallacies which they disseminate everywhere.

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. (1 John 1:7)

Cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and thus made holy and sanctified, we are fitted for the heavenly communion, there is no way a man can come into communionship with God if not cleansed by the blood, the blood of Jesus Christ makes one fit to come in relationship with God the Father, it is an absurd stupidity for a person to approach God without allowing himself to be immersed and cleansed by the blood of the lamb of God (Jesus the Messiah).

We must understand that it is through the blood of Jesus that we have the right standing with God, the blood of Jesus justifies every born again child of God & makes him or her a heavenly candidate, it is therefore scripturally unapostolic to deny that it is the blood that saves.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace (Ephesians 1:7).

God has glorified his grace by giving us redemption by the blood of his Son Jesus Christ, and this redemption consists in forgiving and delivering us from our sins; so then Christ’s blood was the redemption price paid down for our salvation: and this was according to the riches of his grace; as his grace is rich or abundant in benevolence, so it was manifested in beneficence to mankind, in their redemption by the sacrifice of Christ, the measure of redeeming grace being the measure of God’s own eternal goodness, in other words the goodness of God was made manifest through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, this is the highest & greatest privilege of a believer, his sins have been washed away in the ocean of the blood, he now therefore enjoys unprecedented uninterrupted fellowship with God the Father, the Holy Spirit dwells in him, bringing him into state of perfect sonship and relationship, he becomes one with Jesus.

If we take away the blood of Jesus from our basic tenets of faith, Christianity would be the most miserable of all religion, in fact it would be useless for you and me believing in Christ Jesus, it means we have no hope and are big time liars and deceivers, but thank God that Jesus was crucified, shed his blood, died and was raised from the dead by God the Father through the authenticating power of the Holy Spirit, therefore our hope is firm and our foundation is sure, the blood is Christianity’s core doctrine.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11)

Hallelujah! Our brothers & sisters overcame the dragon (i.e. the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), it is for this course that they paid with their blood, had it been it was not about the blood as some claim, they would not have risked their lives to preserve the eternal truth.

How do we Christians of today overcome the dragon, by the blood of Jesus? Yes, not only by the blood, but also by the words of our testimony, which we declare everywhere.

Those who are in Christ Jesus need not to fear the future, knowing fully well that the blood has settled it once and for all, by this, we now stand in the blessed hope of the glory of God.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (Romans 5:1)

Seeing that Jesus has shed his precious sinless blood, we are no more enemies of God but his own very children and joint heirs with his Son Jesus Christ, through the blood we have not only been forgiven, but we have been also justified, we no longer live under the groaning burden of guilt, but with boldness & assurance, we now live in the newness of the heart praising God.

The blood of Jesus is man’s only solution; it is man’s only solution because God in his mercy has provided every necessary provision for man’s reconciliation through the blood of Jesus, if any person be found preaching otherwise, just as the bible declares; let him be accursed.

We are blessed through the sanctifying power of the blood, it is the precious immaculate blood of the Son of God that gave us the full access to the Father, and we can now approach God in full assurance, for whenever we approach God without fear or doubt we show our confidence in the blood, how can a person approach a holy God without the blood of Jesus?

Here is a perfect illustration about the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus:

A woman came to a minister one day carrying a container of wet sand. "Do you see what this is, sir?" she asked. "Yes," was the reply, "it is wet sand." "But do you know what it means?" "I do not know exactly what you mean by it, woman; what is it?" "Well, sir," she said, "that's me; and the multitude of the sins that constantly dirty my heart cannot be numbered." Then she exclaimed, "Oh, wretched creature that I am! How can such a wretch as I ever be saved and keep clean from the influences of the world?" "Where did you get the sand?" asked the minister. "At the beach." "Go back, then, to the beach. Take a spade with you; dig, dig, and raise a great mound; shovel it up as high as you can, then leave it there. Take your stand by the seashore, and watch the effect of the waves upon the heap of the sand." "Sir," she exclaimed, "I see what you mean-the blood, the blood, the blood of Christ, it would wash it all away and would keep washing any new dark stains away."

The blood cleanses us constantly from all impurities and makes us presentable to the Father.

My prayer for anyone reading this article is through it your understanding would be open, that God by his Spirit would grant you revelation knowledge of the impact of the blood of Jesus.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (Jude 1:24-25)
