We Are Light By Jesus' Blood

"But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ." Ephesians 2:13

"This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5

"At that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." John 14:20

We are now light because of the power of Jesus’ Blood. Before we were chosen and empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus we were far away, but now through the eternal power of our Lords Blood, shed on the Cross, we are nigh Him. Which means we are united and one with our Father as Jesus is united and one with our Father, John 17:23. We are now members of Jesus’ body, we are now His Temple, and we are now the branches of His Vine! When Jesus talks about us it is always as unified with Him. Jesus is a hands on Savior and He never will leave us or forsake us! With Jesus we are never in the dark, we are able to see clearly through the faith that He Authors and Finishes for us!

"Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh; How much more shall the Blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God?" Hebrews 9:12-14 Jesus has brought us into the Light that drives out the all darkness from us!
