After Adam and Eve sinned, a system of animal sacrifices was established to offer temporary forgiveness for the sins committed. The people had to offer a blood sacrifice (a spotless lamb) to receive forgiveness for their sins. It was an annual sacrifice, as its effectiveness was limited.
However, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, the blood He shed there, has no expiration date. Its power is limitless; it can wash away the sins of all humanity. He gave Himself willingly so that, through Him, we could present ourselves clean and blameless before the Father.
The Power of the Blood of Christ
Since Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, sin entered the world. A system was needed that provided cleansing from sin, as sin creates a barrier between man and God. In Leviticus chapter 16, we read about the Day of Atonement, an annual celebration in which the people offered animal sacrifices to atone for the guilt of their sins.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, separated from Him (Romans 3:23). But God offered the way of reconciliation with Him through Jesus Christ. A perfect sacrifice was needed, and Jesus was that sacrifice. He, who had never known sin, became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus, God incarnate, never sinned. But voluntarily, He took on the sin of all humanity on the cross, to give us the opportunity to receive eternal forgiveness. It is thanks to Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross that, when we approach the Father in prayer, He sees us as righteous, forgiven, redeemed.
The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross freed us from the slavery of sin, cleansed us, and purified us. His blood was the ransom paid so that we could be saved and have eternal life.
Now, all who receive Jesus as Lord and Savior become children of God for all eternity. Thanks to Jesus Christ, we can live and enjoy the presence of God forever. We only need to accept that gift through Jesus.
The blood shed by Christ also declares victory over Satan. The devil thought that sin would separate all of humanity from God forever, but in Christ there is forgiveness and redemption. The devil is a defeated enemy, he knows his days are numbered, because the blood of Jesus declares the eternal life that is in God, a life that goes far beyond the physical.
