Bold Because of the Blood
Sunday November 4, 2018
As believers we are called by God to live in two worlds.... walking down here on earth in a natural body, but our spirit is connected to Heaven.
We are living in a spiritual war zone...
We can’t talk about New Covenant worship without talking about the blood...
“but with His own blood He (Jesus) entered the Most Holy Place once for all,” Hebrews 9:12
“But ye are come into mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. ~ Hebrews 12:22-24
The perfect blood sacrifice of Jesus forever changed the system of worship.
Under the Old Covenant the priest examined the sacrifice, if the sacrifice was perfect the worshipper was accepted based on the condition of the sacrifice.
The priest wasn’t examining the worshipper, he was examining the sacrifice.
When Jesus offered Himself for our sins on the cross, He became the perfect sacrifice accepted by God.
As we come to worship the Father through the blood, He accepts our worship, not based on our condition, but on the perfect sacrifice of His Son.
Jesus shed His blood so that we might be redeemed and reconciled unto God. All of the law was based on the performance of man...
All the New Covenant is based on the performance of one man...Jesus....
The blood of Jesus has made the way for us to come now into the presence of God.
Each Person of the Godhead— and I mean this the positive sense— was jealous to be included in the process of redeeming humanity.
When we proclaim the truth about the blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit says, “That is where I want to be. Those people are saying things I like to hear.”
The blood qualifies the unqualified...and... when we express our appreciation for the blood of Jesus; we attract the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit.
The blood has perfected the system of worship, bringing us into a new and better way.
The blood of Jesus is always speaking on our behalf in the very presence of God!!!
Blood of Jesus Confessions...
The Blood of Jesus is the Blood of the new covenant which has been shed for me and is in force for me for all eternity. (Hebrews 13:20) (Luke 22:20) 2
Through faith in the Blood of Jesus I have been redeemed, bought from the hand of the enemy. Therefore I am no longer in the kingdom of darkness but through the Blood I have been translated into the Kingdom of God's dear Son. (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 1:18-19; Acts 20:28; Hebrews 9:12)
Through the precious Blood of Jesus I have been made unto God a king and a priest and have been given authority to reign wi
