Faith in the blood

Rom 3:25-26
“God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.” NIV

The Scripture says, “they overcame him(satan) by the blood of the lamb…”, to overcome you have to express faith in the blood. What does it mean to have faith in the blood? It means to express faith in what the blood of Jesus has accomplished for us. So what are these?
  • The blood of Jesus offers us redemption, so you are to express faith in that redemption made available. Redemption means a ransom was paid for your release, that ransom was the blood of Jesus. Affirm your redemption by acknowledging faith in the blood of Jesus.
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1:7 KJV
  • The blood of Jesus has brought you to God, you who were far off. 
“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.”
Ephesians 2:13 KJV
This means you have access by reason of the blood of Jesus. When you express faith in the blood of Jesus, you will be able to approach the throne of grace with confidence and boldness. 

The words of the old hymn:
Just As I am
Without one plea
But that thy blood
Was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me 
Come to Thee 
O Lamb of God
I come


Come to the Lord just as you are because the blood has been shed to make that possible for you. Do not allow anything hold you back.
