Life and Peace in the Blood of Jesus



For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
--Ephesians 6:12 (New Living Translation)

Let's start with some facts.

Jesus Christ was the Son of God.
He came to earth and was birthed into the world by the Virgin Mary.
He lived a sinless life, but He died as a sinner.
In fact, He died a bloody death on a cross.
But, He rose from the dead and now lives as our redeemer.

He died so that we could live a new spiritual life in peace with Him and others both here on earth and in heaven. He died so that we would not have to die eternally.

The Bible tells us that and through [Jesus], God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. (Colossians 1:20)


NOTHING BUT THE BLOODWords & Music: Ro­bert Low­ry

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
