Power In The Blood
Updated: 9 hours ago

Why There Is Power in the Blood
There is power in the blood of Jesus. I believe it’s time for the Church to begin talking about the blood of Jesus once more and for the world to know what it is to be washed in the blood of Jesus.
The blood of Jesus is eternal. Within it is the very life of God. What is divine is full of purpose, and the blood of Jesus is no different. The precious blood of the Lamb, which was shed for the atonement of our sins, brings about more than just the cleansing of sins – though the cleansing of sins is magnificent all its own.
We can receive all of the benefits of the blood by faith, for faith is how we enter the New Covenant with God. Just as Abraham entered into a covenant with God by faith, so we also enter into a new covenant with God by faith.
The Blood Brings Protection
However, God provided special protection for His people. God instructed the Israelites to place blood around the doors of their homes. When the angel of death saw the blood of the lamb, it would pass over the household, leaving the first born and everyone in the home unharmed.
Then Moses called all the elders of Israel together and said to them, “Go, pick out a lamb or young goat for each of your families, and slaughter the Passover animal. Drain the blood into a basin. Then take a bundle of hyssop branches and dip it into the blood. Brush the hyssop across the top and sides of the doorframes of your houses. And no one may go out through the door until morning. For the Lord will pass through the land to strike down the Egyptians. But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the Lord will pass over your home. He will not permit his death angel to enter your house and strike you down. – Exodus 12:21-23
The blood of Jesus brings about protection for you and your household. This doesn’t mean that nothing bad will ever happen to you. It simply means that nothing outside of God’s will can touch you when you walk in obedience.
Solo Faith Church teaches on the blood of Jesus as part of its Bible study ministry. If you want someone to pray with you about your household, you can send a prayer request, or you can take a free Solo Seminary course to study the covenant in Scripture.
To see how the Passover connects to early Christian practice, read the roots of Passover and early Christian practice.
Solo Faith Church shares this Bible study because the blood of Jesus is central to the faith we teach. It connects to our hope of being a place where Concord neighbors can study Scripture together.
