The Riches of God's Salvation - The Blood of Christ, Part 1

  1. A Quick Review
    1. In previous weeks we have seen (1) God's selection, (2) predestination which was decided by God.
    2. In the last two weeks we saw first that redemption means to "pay a price" to "buy back" man from being in sin and unrighteousness. Christ's purchase on the cross was complete and purchased not only one man, but a people for a unique possession. Last week we learned about propitiation. In this action by the high priest in the Old Testament, the blood of an animal was sprinkled upon the lid of the ark, which was called the place of propitiation. This was the place that man could meet with God and God with man. Christ Jesus, after resurrection ascended to the third heavens, appeared at the throne as a lamb "as having just been slain" (Revelation 5:6).
    3. We will see the tremendous impact the blood of Christ has had in the universe, and personally on our own salvation.
  2. The Blood of Christ (Part 1)
    1. Hebrews 9:14 How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Footnote 141 and 143
    2. Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Footnote 221
    3. Matthew 26:28 For this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Footnote 281
    4. Hebrews 9:12 And not through the blood of goats and calves but through His own blood, entered once for all into the Holy of Holies, obtaining an eternal redemption. Footnote 121 and 122
    5. Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace, Footnote 71 and 72
    6. Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who were once far off have become near in the blood of Christ. Footnote 133 and 134
    7. 1 Peter 1:2 Chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father in the sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. Footnote 28
    8. 1 Peter 1:18-19 Knowing that it was not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, that you were redeemed from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers, 19 But with precious blood, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot, the blood of Christ; Footnotes 182 and 191
  3. Questions for discussion only! (There are no right and wrong answers)
    1. What are the similarities and differences in the use of the blood in the Old Testament (the old covenant) and in the New Testament (the new covenant)?
    2. Why does it say in Revelation 12:10-11 that the accuser (Satan, or here the old serpent) is overcome by the blood?
    3. What is the hint in more than one verse in the book of Revelation, chapter 22, that the blood is still in effect even after we have been glorified in our bodies and we are free from sin?
