Salvation is the most gracious gift of the Almighty Father.It is glorious to know that you are saved and belong to God.In our day ,many people are describing and defining salvation in God incorrectly.God has a plan whereby all men can know Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sins.The Apostle Paul wrote that ,he knows in whom he had trusted or believed and he was persuarded because of that knowledge.
From the Bible ,1 John 1 : 7 give a clear view of how the blood of Jesus speaks for us. "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin"
Let us notice that salvation is bought by the blood.

THE BLOOD SATISFIED GOD'S JUSTICE
There is nothing in this world which is hard as carrying the sins of others.Jesus took all the sins of mankind upon himself.Such a heartbreaking and sorrowful incident.When God saw the travail of Jesus soul and suffering and agony.He was satisfied.The use of animals were abolish from that moments.
God could not allow man to sin without punishment and judgement.Jesus death on Calvary satisfied God's justice and provided a way for a man to be saved.
THE BLOOD WAS SHED
Without the shedding of Blood there is no remission or forgiveness.Jesus Christ died for our sins .He was the precious and Sinless son of God.We were to be punished but Jesus Christ died in our place ,in our stead ,and on our behalf.
1 Peter 2 :24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."
THE BLOOD SAVES
We are bought by the precious blood that Jesus Christ shed on Calvary cross.Jesus Christ's blood brings us high to God.Sin separated us from God ,His love and protection.The only way we could get closer was the shedding of the blood.There was an awaiting wrath for us but the blood of Jesus Christ justified and saved us.
"Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God"
As a believer,know that you are bought by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
