Thank God for the Blood!

"The next morning there was a firstborn dead in every house. In the homes of the Egyptians it was a first-born son or daughter, and from that home came the sound of weeping, the voice of lamentation, hearts that ached and would not be comforted. In the houses of the Israelites there was, indeed, a first-born dead, but it was the first-born substitute the slain lamb provided of God." (The Tabernacle Priesthood and Offerings, I.M. Haldman, D.D. MCMXXV pg.10)


Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
(ESV)

Heb 9:12 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.

Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

I am so thankful that my God wrapped himself in flesh, and became man in order to be the supreme sacrifice that was needed to purchase eternal life for all mankind. He is the Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world. The provision that God gave us by shedding his blood that we might be saved. Oh, He provided the Lamb so that we are without excuse when the Lord comes again. The Israelites were ready, they had applied the Blood before judgement came. Just as they did, we must be ready and apply the blood to our lives. How do we apply the blood of Jesus to our lives? The Bible tells us to Repent (turn away from sin) to be Baptized in the Name of Jesus for the remission of sins (this is where the Blood is applied) there is power in the the name of Jesus Christ, in knowing who He is! and receiving the Holy Ghost just like they did in the Bible! (so we can be free from the bondage of sin, just as the Israelites were in bondage in Egypt which is a type and shadow of the world/sin.)

Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
