Thank You Jesus for the Blood

[Ephesians 2:1] You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, [Ephesians 2:2] in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. [Ephesians 2:3] We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. [Ephesians 2:4] But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, [Ephesians 2:5] even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— [Ephesians 2:6] and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, [Ephesians 2:7] that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

[Colossians 1:11] strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy, [Colossians 1:12] giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, [Colossians 1:13] who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love, [Colossians 1:14] in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins. [Colossians 1:15] He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. [Colossians 1:16] For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.

[Romans 3:8] Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned. [Romans 3:9] What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. [Romans 3:10] As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one. [Romans 3:11] There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. [Romans 3:12] They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.” [Romans 3:13] “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.” [Romans 3:14] “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” [Romans 3:15] “Their feet are swift to shed blood. [Romans 3:16] Destruction and misery are in their ways. [Romans 3:17] The way of peace, they haven’t known.” [Romans 3:18] “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” [Romans 3:19] Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. [Romans 3:20] Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

[Philippians 2:4] each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. [Philippians 2:5] Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, [Philippians 2:6] who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, [Philippians 2:7] but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. [Philippians 2:8] And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross. [Philippians 2:9] Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, [Philippians 2:10] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

[Ephesians 3:14] For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Ephesians 3:15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, [Ephesians 3:16] that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, [Ephesians 3:17] that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, [Ephesians 3:18] may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, [Ephesians 3:19] and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

[Hebrews 10:17] “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.” [Hebrews 10:18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. [Hebrews 10:19] Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, [Hebrews 10:20] by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, [Hebrews 10:21] and having a great priest over God’s house, [Hebrews 10:22] let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water, [Hebrews 10:23] let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful. [Hebrews 10:24] Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

[1 Corinthians 15:52] in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. [1 Corinthians 15:53] For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. [1 Corinthians 15:54] But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” [1 Corinthians 15:55] “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?” [1 Corinthians 15:56] The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. [1 Corinthians 15:57] But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. [1 Corinthians 15:58] Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

[Revelation 7:11] All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God, [Revelation 7:12] saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” [Revelation 7:13] One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?” [Revelation 7:14] I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering. They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood. [Revelation 7:15] Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. [Revelation 7:16] They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat;

[2 Corinthians 5:15] He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again. [2 Corinthians 5:16] Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. [2 Corinthians 5:17] Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. [2 Corinthians 5:18] But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; [2 Corinthians 5:19] namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

[1 Peter 1:16] because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” [1 Peter 1:17] If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear, [1 Peter 1:18] knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, [1 Peter 1:19] but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ, [1 Peter 1:20] who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake, [1 Peter 1:21] who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

[Galatians 4:2] but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father. [Galatians 4:3] So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world. [Galatians 4:4] But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law, [Galatians 4:5] that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children. [Galatians 4:6] And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” [Galatians 4:7] So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. [Galatians 4:8] However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods. [Galatians 4:9] But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?

[Revelation 5:7] Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. [Revelation 5:8] Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. [Revelation 5:9] They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, [Revelation 5:10] and made us kings and priests to our God; and we will reign on the earth.” [Revelation 5:11] I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands, [Revelation 5:12] saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”

[Psalms 115:1] Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake. [Psalms 115:2] Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?” [Psalms 115:3] But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
