ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN CHRIST JESUS

I Peter 1:18, 19
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, from your vain manner of life received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious Blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

In the past, before JESUS, Atonement was made one time per year, when the High Priest would enter the Holy Place with the blood of a lamb. Only the High Priest could enter this place and he had to be clean from all earthly filth through washing. He also had to put on new garments before entering, he had to be a new creation without spot or blemish in order to enter into the Presence of the LORD.

JESUS entered into the Holy Presence of the GOD with His own Blood, to make Atonement for us by the shedding of His Blood and carrying it into the presence of GOD, as our Great High Priest. He did this once and for all time. Through Him we have redemption and are washed clean by Him. JESUS is the Lamb of God, the perfect offering for our sin.

We are delivered from the power of Satan. JESUS, by His Blood, reclaimed us by paying the full price for our salvation. Written on the bill of sale are the words: PAID IN FULL. We were sold into sin by Satan; we were bought with the price of the precious Blood of JESUS, blessed be His Holy Name forever and ever.

GIVE HIM THE GLORY DUE HIS NAME
