Forgiveness of Sins by the Blood of Jesus Through His Name

 


"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission [forgiveness of sins]." - Hebrews 9:22 KJV 

"For it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. [for the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the LORD.[fn] It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible. NLT]" - Leviticus 17:11 KJV

While the blood of animal sacrifices every year pushed ahead the sins of Israel, they could not take their sins away. 

"But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." - Hebrews 10:3-4 KJV

It took our Heavenly Father manifesting Himself in flesh, born holy and without sin, to shed His blood for us so our sins could be taken away. He came in His name Jesus.

"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." - Acts 20:28 KJV

Jesus told His disciples when He took the cup at the last supper before His death, that it was symbolic of the blood He was about to shed.

"For this is my blood of the new testament [the new covenant], which is shed for many for the remission of sins." - Matthew 26:28 KJV

This is what Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost when the church first began – baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:38-39 KJV
