the Blood: purchased by the blood

the Blood: purchased by the blood by ric Gustafson


People have asked why did Jesus purchase us with his blood on the cross. The first reason is justification. In our natural state, we stand condemned by God. We are born spiritually separated from him. We fall short of the righteous behavior that God requires. Only the sinless Son of God can do that. Romans 5 says that Jesus died for the ungodly. Because we have been justified by the blood of Jesus, we are saved from God's wrath.
The blood of Jesus buys our freedom our redemption. We should of been on that cross but Jesus took our place and purchased our redemption with his precious blood.
Because natural man is a sinner and sins, God's wrath must be appeased. The blood of Jesus brings reconciliation. The blood of Jesus removes the obstacles separating us from God. Ephesians 1 says that we have access to the Father. Our access to the Father is through Jesus.
It is through the blood of Jesus that we are sanctified . We are now set apart for service to God. When we have Jesus as our Savior we become blood white. We are cleansed by the power of the blood.
