Covered by the blood
Leviticus 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement.
The bible says without the shedding of blood there no atonement for sin. A similar message is given in the verse above.
Atonement means to make amends for a wrong or injury. The blood of Jesus made amends for all our sins. It covers all wrongs.
We are fully covered by the blood of Jesus as christians and whenever God wants to penalize the wicked , He will pass over us as He did for the Israelites in Egypt.( Exodus 12:27) because of the blood.
There is a song that says
When I see the blood
When I see the blood
When I see the blood
I will pass, I will pass over you.
The covering of the blood over us as christians is a guarantee for our safety.
We are safe from conspiracies and all kinds of evil
Hebrews 12:24
To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel
The blood of Jesus speaks life and healing over our lives. It pleads on our behalf when we fall or disobey God. When God looks at the blood, I believe He says I cannot make this great sacrifice once again. I will give them another chance to repent.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Stay right under the blood of Jesus by being faithful and obedient to His word.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song
The blood that Jesus shed for me
Way back on calvary
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
For it reaches to the highest mountain
And flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
Amen.
