Covered By The Blood

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:24)

If you have chosen Jesus as your Lord and Savior, all of your sins - past, present, and future have been redeemed. The penalty has been paid. When you die and go in front of the judge, you will be declared "not guilty". "you were bought with a price" (1 Cor 6:20) He remembers your sins no more! While we were yet sinners, Christ died. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code (the law) … he took it away, nailing it to the cross. (Col 2:14)

Just as the blood of the sacrificial lamb was sprinkled on the doorposts of the Israelites in Egypt in order that death would not destroy the firstborn of God's people, we are covered by the blood of the perfect lamb of God, Jesus Christ. God provided the lamb that would be slaughtered for our sins. He is the "Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29)

He was chosen before the creation of the world." He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." (1 John 2:2) "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." (Isaiah 1:18)
He was pierced and crushed for us. By His wounds, we are healed.

We are washed by the blood of Jesus. "Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. " (Psalm 32:1) Blessed is the one who forgives all our sins and heals and redeems our life! For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love.. (Psalm 103)

"For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. This is the one who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ. Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." (1 John 5:4-6, 5:10-11)


Father God ~~
Thank you for the most precious gift of the cross. Our sins are covered by the blood of the perfect lamb when we choose to accept the sacrifice. As far as the east is from the west, you remember our sins no more. Thank you that everything we do and say is filtered through the Cross. Your sacrifice for our sins was once and for all when you offered your Son to die on the cross. It is by His stripes that we are healed. Thank you Jesus for interceding for us. The veil is torn and we are righteous in the Father's sight because of His great love for us. You accepted the will of the Father that we might have life. May we also accept the Father's will by accepting what you did on the cross. Amen
