Precious Blood I Peter 1:19
1 Peter 1:19
But with the precious blood of Christ,
as of
a lamb without blemish and without spot:
The blood of Jesus is the price of our redemption, the object of our
faith, the ground of our peace, the subject of our meditation, and our constant
plea at the throne of grace. It satisfied divine justice, and speaks peace to
the humbled sinner’s heart.
It overcomes Satan, and
cleanseth from all sin.
It purges the consciences
from dead works, and leads us to joy in God.
We build on it as our
foundation, flee to it as our refuge, look to it as the cure for sin, and sing
of it as the joy of our hearts.
It has made a perfect, a
satisfactory, and infinite atonement; and no sinner can perish who relies upon
it, washes in it, and pleads it before
God.
It is indeed precious blood!
It is invaluable!
Whenever you feel guilt on
your conscience, fear rising in your mind, or a gloom come over your spirit;
look to, meditate upon, make use of, the
precious blood of Jesus.
It makes peace, it gives
peace, it secures peace.
It cleanses, heals, and
sanctifies; and we could not live happily one day without it.
The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin.
To this alone we must look
as the foundation of our hope, and the ground of our peace.
Dear dying
Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall
never lose its power;
Till all
the ransom’d church of God
Be saved
to sin no more.
James Smith
