WHY DO CHRISTIANS FOCUS SO MUCH ON THE BLOOD OF JESUS?


TWENTY BIBLE REFERENCES THAT EMPHASIZE 
THE IMPORTANCE OF CHRIST'S BLOOD!

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

Mark 14:24And He said unto them, This is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Luke 22:20 - Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you.

John 6:53-56, 63 - Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, you have no life in you.  Whoso eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.  For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.  He that eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, dwells in Me, and I in him. - - - It is the Spirit Who quickens (makes alive); the flesh profits nothing:  the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life [Note:  See 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 below.]

Acts 20:28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He has purchased with His own blood.


Romans 3:24-25
Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:   Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation (the debt paid in full) through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God....


Romans 5:9 - Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

1 Corinthians 10:16The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?  The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 - For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread:  and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, Take, eat:  this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me.  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, as oft as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.  For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till He come.

Ephesians 1:7In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace....

Ephesians 2:13 - But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Colossians 1:14, 20 - In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: - - - And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Hebrews 9:11-14, 22But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.  For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh:  how much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? - - - And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Hebrews 10:19-20 - Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh....

Hebrews 13:12Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without (outside) the gate.

1 Peter 1:18-19For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation (way of life) received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot....

1 John 5:5-6 Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  This is He that came by water (physical birth) and blood (physical death - See Leviticus 17:11), even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.  And it is the Spirit Who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth[Note:  See also "water and the Spirit" as in describing the two births in John 3:3-6.]

Revelation 1:5And 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....  [Note:  Jesus is call the Prince because He has not yet come as the King of kings - See Revelation 19:16).]

Revelation 7:14And I said unto him, Sir, you know.  And he said to me, These are they who came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.


Revelation 12:11And they overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.


WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SINS;
NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS!
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?  
THEN TELL SOMEBODY!
