Adam’s treason gave satan authority over the life of man, but because of the power of the blood of Jesus, the moment you made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, you were redeemed from the curse and satan was put out of business. The curse is death, sin, sickness, disease, poverty, lack, depression-anything bad you can think of. In addition to being redeemed from sin, the blood also set us free from the curse of the law so that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come upon us in Christ ( Galatians 3:13). The best thing you can do is joyfully accept this free gift. In fact, you couldn’t earn it even if you tried. The best part? You don’t have to earn and pay for what has been provided on the Cross. From the minute you receive Jesus as Lord of your life, God will not remember any past sin in your life. The greatest thing the blood of Jesus accomplished was this-it washed all your sin away and made you clean and pure-white as snow. Redemption of this magnitude required a much greater sacrifice-the blood of His Son-Jesus. Such great Redemption for all mankind, for eternity, could not be accomplished through the blood of just a goat or ram. His plan of Redemption was the same as it was for Abel, Moses and Noah-it would be through the shedding of blood. The earth and everything in it was suddenly cursed and man was separated from God by sin. With one trespass, death was passed on to all men ( Romans 5:12). He made satan the illegitimate ruler of the earth.įrom that day on-everything changed. In bowing his knee to satan, Adam turned over the authority that God had given him. When he did that, he made satan his lord. Adam followed suit and did what satan told him to do instead of obeying God. The devil came to Adam’s wife, Eve, in the form of a serpent and deceived her into disobeying God. Redemption Through the Blood of Jesus “We have redemption through His blood.” –Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) The power of the blood of Jesus has provided everything you need to live a life of victory, including redemption, fellowship, healing, protection and authority over the devil. Let’s elevate the blood of Jesus to the same place in our hearts that it has in God’s heart-and awaken in our spirits those powerful things the blood has procured for us. “Of all the glorious things that the blood means, this is one of the most glorious: His blood is the sign, the measure, yes, the impartation of His love.” -Andrew Murray It is love, through the blood, that has created a barrier between you and all the works of the devil. That love covers every need man has had or ever will have, and every time we apply the blood, we experience an outpouring of this love. And the greatest expression of His love toward us is the blood of Jesus. The blood symbolizes cleansing and purification-the settling of a matter. The sacrifices of Abel, Noah and Isaac, and the Passover lamb, and the giving of the Law all came to pass, but “not without blood” (Hebrews 9:7, NKJV). But how many of us truly know how deep its power runs, and all that it has provided for us? Even more important-how many of us use it and apply it in our lives every day?įrom Genesis to Revelation, the words the blood are kept before our eyes-a reminder of its importance and significance to God and to us. The power of the blood of Jesus has provided everything you need to live a life of victory, including Redemption, fellowship, healing, protection and authority over the devil.Īs Christians, we know about the blood, sing hymns about the blood, and remember it during Communion.
