BOUGHT WITH THE BLOOD
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 6:12-20
MEMORY VERSE: “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 CORINTHIANS 6:20).
“Plunge into the ‘fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins,’ and in an instant you are whiter than snow. Every speck, spot, and stain of sin is gone, and gone forever,” says C. H. Spurgeon. There is no sin that can defy the cleansing power in the blood of Jesus Christ. The worth of a soul is invaluable and the price of our redemption is inestimable. Just as the redemption of the Israelites from Egypt required the blood of the paschal lamb, so also our redemption from sin and its consequences required the blood of Christ, “the lamb of God.”
In eternity, prayers will not be heard, repentance will be too late. Also, certificates, riches, laurels, insignias, plagues and diadems will not make up for the eternal loss. Youths that revel in sin should know that the pleasures of sin will turn to excruciating pain and everlasting punishments. There is power in the blood of Jesus to make the foulest sinner clean. Hurry up! Put off your garments of sin and be washed in the blood of Jesus Christ today.
QUOTE: There is power in the blood of Jesus.
CHALLENGE: Jesus paid for your redemption with His blood.
PRAYER: Thank you Lord Jesus, for my redemption.
