CHRIST the SUPREME BLOOD DONOR: “…the precious blood of Christ” (1 Pet 1:19). Walter S. Patrick links the following verses for us. 1. We are saved through faith in His blood (Rom 3:25). 2. We are justified by His blood (Rom 5:9). 3. We were purchased by His own blood (Acts 20:28). 4. And we are redeemed by His precious blood (Rev 5:9; Eph 1:7; 1 Pet 1:18-19). 5. We are also sanctified by His blood (Heb 9:13-14). 6. And we “who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ” (Eph 2:13). 7. We also have peace through His blood (Col 1:20). We are brought into the New Covenant by His blood as well (Mt 26:28). And, we read, God set forth Christ “as a propitiation by His blood” (Rom 3:25). In addition, the blood of Christ is able to “cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God” (Heb 9:14). And we now have “boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Heb 10:19). We also overcome “by the blood of the Lamb” (Rev 12:11).
