John 10:17-18 NKJV
17/ “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
18/ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”
1 Peter 1:18-19 AMPC
18/ You must know (recognize) that you were redeemed (ransomed) from the useless (fruitless) way of living inherited by tradition from [your] forefathers, not with corruptible things [such as] silver and gold,
19/ But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot.
Blood cleanses us.
Blood frees, and looses you.
Blood protects us.
Blood has made a way for us to become the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Life is in the blood.
Jesus poured His life for us.
So that through His perfect work, we could receive new life by faith!
