Jesus' Blood Sanctifies Us

"Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without the gate." Hebrews 13:12

The power of Jesus’ Blood is what allows us to be one with the Light. Jesus obtained eternal redemption for us and He purged our consciences from all dead works. Jesus did this so that we might serve God as He serves God, in Truth and in holiness! I will do anything to help my kids if they are in trouble. Not only would I, but I would be responsible to, they are my kids. Well think about God, how much more can He come to our aide when needed and doesn’t He have the responsibility to? He is our Father and He chose to have us. God doesn’t shy away from this duty either, He welcomes it and it brings Him great joy to have the responsibility of raising us! “Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 Man was in trouble, sin was destroying us, so God sent Jesus, and now we are free in Him. Death was defeated at the Cross and the sting of it has been removed from us, and it brings Jesus great joy to do it. Satan lost his grip over us, perfect love came and fear was cast out. Light now shines where there was once darkness! Remember, we were not originally made in darkness, it found us. We were in trouble and Jesus came, and saved us, and He did not do the job half way! The power of His Light far exceeds the power of our darkness! And through the power of His Light our bodies of sin have been destroyed. “Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6 The Blood of Jesus more than strong enough to completely sanctify us, regardless of who and what we were!
