THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
Romans chapter 3 verses 23-25a says “All have sinned and are not good enough for God’s glory, and all need to be made right with ?God by his grace, which is a free gift. They need to be made free from sin through Jesus Christ. God gave him as a way to forgive sin through faith in the blood of Jesus death.”
The Law defines the sin (offense) that was committed and its penalties. All have sinned against God and his fellows and is not good enough for the glory of God. The sinner is bound, strap to sin and needs to be set free. Not the law which binds him but something that has not been tainted with sin can set the sinner free. God provided the remedy by giving His only Son as a sacrifice by dying at the cross as a condemned and convicted sinner on behalf of all mankind. The blood of Jesus Christ was a propitiation of our sin.
Blood as propitiation for offenses committed against God or man in the Old Testament comes from animals given as sacrifices such as sheep, goats, bulls, birds. These sacrifices are done by the Aaronic priesthood as promulgated by Moses, the man chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The blood was caught in a bowl and sprinkled on the altar and upon the assembly of people. Aaron anointed the priest by dipping his fingers on the blood and anointing the ears, the thumb and the big toe . The priests/officiant must be very careful to observe every detail in the function of his office lest he dies.
However the Old Testament model of expatiation of sins, as a shadow of the real and true thing, is imperfect. So It is repeated from time to time, or was often there is a need for it. When that which is perfect is come the imperfect gives way to that which is perfect. Thus the Aaronic or Mosaic sacrificial systems have to give way to the “once for all sacrifice” made by Jesus Christ of Himself.
The sacrifice of animal blood is superseded by the sacrifice of the royal blood of Jesus Christ. The blood of animals sacrificed in worship was handled by human hands of duly initiated and appointed priests. These priest have to offer a sacrifice for the remission of their own sins before they can offer sacrifices for the sins of the people. “It shows that the gifts and sacrifices offered cannot make the conscience of the worshiper perfect. The gifts and sacrifices were only about food and drink and special washings. They were rules for the body, to be followed until the time of God’s new way.” (Hebrews 9:9-10).
“But when Christ came as the high priest of the good things we now have, he entered the greater and more perfect tent. It is not made by human hands and does not belong to this world. Christ entered the Most Holy Place only once –and for all time. He did not take with him the blood of goats and calves. His sacrifice was his own blood, and by it he set us free from sin forever ..He offered himself through the Spirit, as an perfect sacrifice to God……….. His blood will make our consciences pure from useless acts so we may serve the ,living God”(HEBREWS 9:14).
The cultist misuse and doctrine of the blood of Christ, either knowingly or unknowingly, the preacher or teacher makes a blasphemous declaration as “I apply the blood of Christ” on this or that situation or circumstance. This downgrades the Holy, royal blood of Jesus to that of an animal. This makes the person applying the blood of Jesus superior to Jesus. This is preposterous presumption of authority. How can a sinful person handle and apply by his words the blood of Deity on mundane things? Jesus offered himself once and for all so that the believer should be free from sin forever.
Is this not the manner of the cultist, of the charlatans? To be able to manipulate God? To command God to do for him what God ordains him to do?
Paul warns in Galatians Chapter 1 verse 5 to 8. “We preached to you the GOOD NEWS of Christ. So I we ourselves, or even an angel from heaven, should preach to you something different, we should be judged guilty. I said this before, and now I say it again. … If anyone is preaching something different to you, he should be judged guilty.”
