*"The blood that purchased your eternal redemption came not from unwilling animals, but from the Son of God who willingly laid down His life for you. (John 10:14-18) The spotless lamb of God had to die only once; the sacrifice need not be repeated. Have you trusted that blood to save you?"
That is a good question. What is your response to it? "What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!" You don't hear this preached from a lot of pulpits anymore.
*"We are living in a day when the message of the church is changing. Churches, and even whole denominations, are moving away from the old message of salvation through the blood of Jesus, and are moving toward a message of salvation through social activism and good works. The old bloody message of the cross is quickly being replaced by a bloodless message that lacks power and that lacks hope. Instead of hearing the devastating, but life changing news that men are sinners, people hear a message that tells them, "I'm OK and you're OK!"
According to the Bible, apart from the saving provision and power of the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross for us, we are far from being OK! Apart from the sacrifice that Jesus made for us, we are in the serious position of paying for our sins, and being placed in the fires of hell forever. Jesus is our sacrifice, given to us by a loving God, who by no means wants us to perish.
So again the question is asked: Have you trusted the blood of Jesus to save you? If you haven't, you need to place yourself under it today. (Acts 2:38) GP
