THE BLOOD OF JESUS—WHAT IT GIVES TO US FREELY
SALVATION An act of being born again; being saved from eternal damnation.
John 3:3 “…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:17 “For God sent NOT his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.”
Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
ATONEMENT That which blots out or covers over the sins of mankind.
Leviticus 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the BLOOD THAT MAKETH AN ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL.”
Romans 5:11 “And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”
REDEMPTION The contract on our life is paid in full, bought back from the power of sin and death.

Ephesians 1:7 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”

JUSTIFICATION We have been acquitted of guilt and sin.

Acts 13:38 “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:”
Acts 13:39 “And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”
RIGHTEOUSNESS We are put back into right-standing with God (Isaiah 59:2) and continually as, I John 1:9.
Romans 3:22 “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference.”
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 3:25 “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forebearance of God;”
SANCTIFICATION We are set apart unto God, at salvation as well as each day after, through the blood of Jesus.
I Corinthians 1:30 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”
Hebrews 10:10 “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

REMISSION The debt and guilt of sin has been cancelled.
Romans 3:24 “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
Romans 3:25 “…to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past.”
RECONCILED When we change our attitude and accept God’s provision, we change from hostility towards God to fellowship and love for Him.
Colossians 1:20 “And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself;…”
Romans 5:10 “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”
OVERCOMING POWER That which we receive when we appropriate what has been delegated unto us.
Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Revelations 12:11 “And they (Christians) overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
DELIVERED We are released from powers of darkness, set at liberty from captivity.
