Meaning of BLOOD

Vital liquid that circulates through the body, so indispensable for its existence that it can be said: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Lev. 17:11, 14), or: "The blood is the life" ( Deut. 12:23);



Vital liquid that circulates through the body, so indispensable for its existence that it can be said: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Lev. 17:11, 14), or: "The blood is the life" ( Deut. 12:23); This fact does not prevent the psalmist from also attributing the life of animals to the breath of Jehovah (Ps. 104:30).

The blood represents life, so sacred to God that the blood of the slain Abel is described as crying out for vengeance from the earth (Gen. 4:10).

Immediately after the Flood, when God gave permission to eat the flesh of animals, it was nevertheless forbidden to eat their blood (Gen. 9:3, 4; Acts 15:20, 29).

This law, given to Noah, therefore applies not only to Judaism, but to the entire human race, all the nations that emerged from Noah.

The following command was also given: "Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood will be shed" (Gen. 9:6). According to the Law, death is the wages of sin.

To obtain forgiveness it was essential to sacrifice the life of a substitute, prefiguring the sacrifice of Calvary (Heb. 9:22; see SACRIFICE).

The blood of the sacrificed animals was used to make atonement on the altar (Lev. 17:1-14; Deut. 12:15-16), or inside the sanctuary, on the mercy seat (Lev. 8:23, 30 ; Ex. 24:8; Heb. 9:18-22).

Through this symbol, the priest came to say to the Lord: «The man (or the people) whom I represent should have died because of his sin.

But the blood presented here shows that a victim has been offered in his place. Your law is satisfied. grant your forgiveness according to your promise.

In the NT, the expressions: blood of Jesus, blood of Christ, blood of the Lamb, blood of the covenant, blood sprinkled, are metaphors that represent the atoning death of the Lord Jesus; It was by the shedding of His blood that there could be salvation (1 Cor. 10:16; Eph. 2:13; Heb. 9:14; 10:19; 1 Pet. 1:2, 19; 1 John 1:7 ; Rev. 7:14; 12:11; Mt. 26:28; Heb. 12:24).



So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.

The Determination To Serve

Oswald Chambers
The mainspring of Paul 's service is not love for men, but love for Jesus Christ. Paul's realization of how Jesus Christ had dealt with him is the secret of his determination to serve others.
No matter what sin we have committed, no matter how terrible it may be, God loves us.- Billy Graham

What God’s Love Can’t Do

Billy Graham
God cannot forgive the unrepentant sinner. The human race is called on throughout the Bible to repent of sin and return to God. This love of God can be entirely rejected. God will not force Himself upon any man against his will.
“To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge! To do the will of God is the greatest achievement.”—George W. Truett

Pure and Powerful

Zig Ziglar
Too often, we value all received messages equally. God’s Word, though, is more precious and valuable than any other message sent to us. The psalmist describes God’s message as “pure words” that are like silver processed “seven times” in the furnace.
“The only ultimate disaster that can befall us is to feel ourselves at home on this earth.”— Malcolm Muggeridge

The Secret of Contentment

Zig Ziglar
Somewhere along the way, Paul learned the secret of contentment. He realized that possessions, fame, beauty, and other earthly things can be pleasant for a while, but they can never produce genuine contentment. That comes from the inside.
Here is the truth: Jesus Christ is Lord of life and Lord of all. - Jack Graham

Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jack Graham
Jesus is the Lord of Life, and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible. Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him.
