Hebrews 9:14
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Sprit
offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to
serve the living God?
From
our scripture text, the basic question that comes to mind is, What else can the
blood of Christ do that it hadn't already done? It purified all believers of
their sinful conditions. It forgave our sins, and it paid our sin debt. It
justified all believers and gave us the desire to live holy unto God and serve
Him with a heartfelt devotion. Also, Christ's blood set apart all believers so
that all believers are now members of God's holy nation of priests that have
been called out from among the people of this world. Christ's blood gave all believers
a permanent home in heaven where our true citizenship is, and we have a crown
of life and righteousness waiting for us.
Christ's
blood delivered all believers from the dead works of sin and gave all believers
a life of righteousness free from Satan and his demonic powers that imprison
unbelievers with no way out, but Christ's blood paved the way. Through Christ's
blood, all believers have a blood bought right to come boldly to God's throne
of grace where there is help, mercy, love and care (Hebrews 4:16).
Christ's
blood did what animal blood couldn't do; it forgave sin once and for all.
