๐Ÿ’ฅHebrews 10:19-22 describes the blood of Jesus as the new and living way to enter into God’s presence.

๐Ÿ“• Hebrewsโ€ฌ โ€ญ10โ€ฌ:โ€ญ19โ€ฌ-โ€ญ22โ€ฌ โ€ญAMPโ€ฌโ€ฌ tells us;

Feasting with God:

๐Ÿ’ฅJesus himself spoke of feasting on his body and drinking his blood for eternal life (John 6:53).

๐Ÿ“• Johnโ€ฌ โ€ญ6โ€ฌ:โ€ญ53โ€ฌ โ€ญAMPโ€ฌโ€ฌ informs;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพโ€œ And Jesus said to them, โ€œI assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood [unless you believe in Me as Savior and believe in the saving power of My blood which will be shed for you], you do not have life in yourselves.โ€

๐Ÿ’ฅRomans 5:9 states that believers are “justified by his blood,” meaning they are declared righteous in God’s eyes through Jesus’ sacrifice. This is a result of God’s grace, received through faith.

๐Ÿ“• Romansโ€ฌ โ€ญ5โ€ฌ:โ€ญ9โ€ฌ โ€ญAMPโ€ฌโ€ฌ says;

๐Ÿ’ฅThe blood of Christ, unlike animal sacrifices, can penetrate both the earthly and spiritual realms, cleansing consciences and offering protection from the evil one.

๐Ÿ“• Hebrewsโ€ฌ โ€ญ9โ€ฌ:โ€ญ13โ€ฌ-โ€ญ14โ€ฌ โ€ญAMPโ€ฌโ€ฌ

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพโ€œ For if the sprinkling of [ceremonially] defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a [burnt] heifer is sufficient for the cleansing of the body, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal [Holy] Spirit willingly offered Himself unblemished [that is, without moral or spiritual imperfection as a sacrifice] to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the ever living God?โ€

โ€ญโ€ญ

๐Ÿ’ฅAlso the blood of Jesus is also seen as a source of protection from evil, as seen in the story of the Israelites being spared during the Passover. (Exodus 12)

๐Ÿ’ฅIsaiah 53:5 is central to the concept of healing through the blood of Jesus, emphasizing that His stripes (wounds) provide healing.

๐Ÿ“• Isaiahโ€ฌ โ€ญ53โ€ฌ:โ€ญ5โ€ฌ โ€ญAMPโ€ฌโ€ฌ declares;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพโ€œ But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him, And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.โ€

โ€ญโ€ญ

๐Ÿ™๐ŸพAlso 1 John 1:7 connects the cleansing from sin with the cleansing from sickness, suggesting that the blood of Jesus has the power to remove both.

๐Ÿ“• 1 Johnโ€ฌ โ€ญ1โ€ฌ:โ€ญ7โ€ฌ โ€ญAMPโ€ฌโ€ฌ says;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพโ€œ but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].โ€
