I am revisiting a chapter of my book which is a study on the blood of Christ and what it accomplishes for the believer The Blood of Christ Let us now look at some of the verses which show us what the death and blood of Christ accomplished for the elect. Justified, saved from wrath ‘Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.’ (Romans 5:9) Redeemed from the curse of the law ‘Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"’-- (Galatians 3:13) ‘he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.’ (Hebrews 9:12) Forgiveness of Sins ‘In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,’ (Ephesians 1:7) ‘For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more." (Hebrews 8:12) ‘But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,’ (Hebrews 10:12) ‘But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,’ (Hebrews 10:12) ‘Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;’ (Hebrews 1:3) Brought Near ‘But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.’ (Ephesians 2:13) Made alive ‘And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,’ (Colossians 2:13) Canceled our Debt by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.’ (Colossians 2:14) Ransomed ‘who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. (1 Timothy 2:6) The power of Death is Destroyed ‘Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,’ (Hebrews 2:14) Reconciled to God ‘For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.’ (Romans 5:10) Sanctified ‘And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.’ (Hebrews 10:10) Healed ‘He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.’ (1 Peter 2:24) Perfected Forever ‘For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. (Hebrews 10:14)
