THE BLOOD ATONEMENT

By Loren Davis

*all scriptures KJV

Major preachers TEACH 'JESUS BLOOD DOES NOT ATONE'. They teach that it was Jesus suffering in hell three days is what atoned us of our sins. This is unscriptural and illogical.

Luke 23:43 When Jesus was dying on the cross, He said to the thief next to Him, "Verily I say unto thee, TODAY shalt thou be with me in paradise." It is impossible for Jesus to be in paradise 'TODAY' and in hell 3 days at the same time.

To say that Jesus blood does not atone is to say He was to deny Christ's divinity. FACTS: He was born of a virgin; He was the Son of God; He was the Son of man and the Son of God. He got His flesh from Mary, but His blood was from His Father, God. Jesus had God's blood in a man's body. 1 Tim. 3:16

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BLOOD?

Hebrews 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."

THE OLD TESTAMENT ATONEMENT

Leviticus 16:18-19 "And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the Lord, and MAKE AN ATONEMENT for it; and shall take of the BLOOD of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. And he shall sprinkle of the BLOOD upon it."

2 CHRONICLES 29:24 "And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with THEIR BLOOD UPON THE ALTAR, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel."

THE NEW TESTAMENT ATONEMENT

Romans 5:11 "And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED THE ATONEMENT."

John 1:29 "Behold THE LAMB OF GOD, which taketh away the sin of the world."

1 Peter 1:19 "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:"

Colossians 1:2 "having made peace through the BLOOD OF HIS CROSS, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven the altar, to MAKE AN ATONEMENT for all Israel:"

Hebrews 9:12-14 "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?"

Colossians 1:20 "having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."

Hebrews 13:20 "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,"

Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and WASHED US FROM OUR SINS in his own blood,"

Revelation 5:9 "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;"

Matthew 26:28 "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Acts 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves…to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood."

Colossians 1:14, Ephesians 1:7 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"

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

Acts 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood."

Romans 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins

Romans 5:9 "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

Hebrews 10:19-20 "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,"

Priests promise their people that if they give money to the church that they can get salvation and heaven for their departed loved ones. Thousands of preachers fraudulently link giving money to obtain healing or miracles from God. These promises are not true! Salvation and miracles cannot be bought with money. IT IS A GIFT OF GOD bought by the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 1:18-19 "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:"

Hebrews 10:29 "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"

1 John 1:7 "and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE SAVED IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE CLEANSING, REDEEMING, ATONING POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS.

JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD. THERE IS NO OTHER SACRIFICE OF SINS. WE ARE NOT SAVED BY WORKS BUT BY FAITH IN WHAT HE DID ON THE CROSS AND FAITH IN HIS BLOOD.
