The Gospel Centers Upon Christ’s Blood

The Importance of Blood Sacrifice [podcast]


A Blood-Less Gospel is a False Gospel!

“The aprons of fig leaves speak of man’s attempt to save himself by a bloodless religion of good works.” William MacDonald

As the first man and woman quickly discovered after they sinned, the fig leaves of good works are not honored of God, will not cover sin from the eyes of He who is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) Blood sacrifice is essential in divine redemption.

“Without shedding of blood is no remission.” Hebrews 9:22

SATAN wants people trusting in water and not the BLOOD of Jesus. Beware. We are saved by the blood of Jesus – water baptism is for those who have already repented and believed upon Jesus Christ. It’s an outward profession of the inward work of regeneration God has already done! (Titus 3:5-7)

From the cradle of creation through the dispensation of the Mosaic law, in Christ’s redemptive blood on Calvary’s cross, and throughout eternity future, we see that in the Creator’s economy, it is blood that quenches the fire of His holy vengeance.

“Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:9

If it doesn’t include the BLOOD, if it’s not a bloody Gospel, it’s no gospel at all other than “another gospel” coming from an “accursed” wolf (Galatians 1:6-9). BEWARE.

“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; 19 But with the precious BLOOD of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: … 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And THIS is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:18-19, 25 

God’s desire today is to apply the precious blood of His only begotten Son to all who will repent and receive Jesus (John 1:12).

WHEN we stop, step back and meditate upon how rarely we hear the cardinal, central, essential Bible message—the doctrine of the BLOOD of Jesus Christ, the stunning reality of the foretold great departure from the faith will begin to set in (1 Timothy 4:1-2).

“Contemporary Christian song books remove the Bible word ‘blood’ along with other biblical doctrines. They want POPULAR music that makes you ‘feel’ good while many spiritual truths are intentionally ignored. Also, they don’t include all the stanzas of the original hymn writers IF they have hymns.” Brother Turk

Beware of the many Christ-denying preachings, song lyrics, quotes, and books which do not aggrandize (UPHOLD and magnify Jesus Christ, “Not holding the Head” (Colossians 2:18-19). “The spirit of antichrist” is behind all such subversion (1 John 2:18; 4:1-6).

You are never communicating the Gospel more than when you are preaching the BLOOD!

DID JESUS “SPILL” OR DID THE SON OF GOD INTENTIONALLY “SHED” HIS PERFECT BLOOD? JESUS “SHED” HIS BLOOD, HE DIDN’T “SPILL” IT. SPILL CONVEYS something ACCIDENTAL. READ MATTHEW 26:28 below.

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

“As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10:15

“No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.” John 10:18

JESUS came to die for the sins of mankind and washes away ALL the sins of EVERY person who repents! THAT’S WHY He came – to redeem and forgive and dwell with those He saves forever! Matthew 26:28; John 17:3; Ephesians 2:6-7; Colossians 1:14; 1 John 2:1-2, etc.!!!!!

False teachers promise victory and success outside of Christ’s cross. Yet it is only when Jesus remits the sins of the repentant who are believing upon Him, that “all power” from Christ in Heaven is given them to overcome Satan.

“And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven (due to Christ’s blood).” Luke 10:18-20

After dying on that cross, being buried, and rising from the dead, Jesus sent forth His body:

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

It is only and as one is submitted to God by repentance and faith in the blood of the Redeemer, that he is able by Christ to resist Satan and overcome him:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Submitting ourselves to God is initially and perpetually centered at Christ’s redeeming cross (blood)!

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” Matthew 26:26-29

What is it that Jesus wanted us to supremely remember? What did the Son of God never want us to forget?

“And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.” 1 Corinthians 11:24-25

The death of the LORD Jesus Christ on the cross where His sinless, divine blood was shed, is of paramount, essential importance and should not only never be forgotten but celebrated unto we are with Him!

Peace was not free. Jesus freely chose to pay for it with His own precious life blood in His crucifixion on that cross! We are only Made Nigh by the Blood of Christ [podcast]. 

You will recall how Jesus emphasized the forgiveness of sins which is through His blood …. “the blood of his cross” (Colossians 1:20).

“For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?” Matthew 9:5

“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, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 1:5-6

We are only going to reign with Christ due to the price He paid to redeem us on that cross.

ANY preacher who denies Christ by refusing to preach His redeeming blood on a constant basis, is a vile wolf! Run for your life!

Remaining washed by the blood of Christ is not automatic and is conditional upon the individual recipients enduring to the end of his life, walking in the light as Christ is in the light.

“But IF we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7

Oh, what a Savior, oh hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary
His hands were nail scarred
His side was riven
He gave His life-blood for even me.
~Marvin P. Dalton
