"BENEFITS OF THE BLOOD"

Scripture- Hebrews 9:12-14

Preacher- Minister Adrianne Robinson, Assoc Minister FBC, Belmar, NJ

All of us are familiar with immunizations-vaccines. Many of us, since the age of 2 weeks old have received the needle jabs to protect us from certain types of diseases.

Just like our bodies need vaccines to keep us from being contaminated with disease---Our blood – contaminated with sin due to the the choices we make to live against God and be

His enemy. We need a Savior- who gave of Himself-suffered and shed His blood to give us reconciliation, forgiveness, protection, provision and to be called God's friend.

Jesus---he died once---for all—and offered Himself to God! His blood offers ongoing protection- no booster needed!! Only the blood of Jesus can cover us and put us in right standing with God.

Beloved- there are benefits of the blood!!

~~Nothing but the Blood~~~

~ 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:

O precious is the flow

that makes me white as snow;

no other fount I know;

nothing but the blood of Jesus.
