Down at the cross

Because Jesus' blood was applied to my sin, the Spirit of the Eternal God and Everlasting Father lives within me—God declared me "Free of guilt" in His sight!

Glory to His name! We stand on the blood of Christ, our only standing. We proclaim the power of the blood. Hallelujah! Satan has been defeated on the cross! Jesus is Lord! Christ is King! 😀

Glory to his Name, Aleluia

Amazing! Glory to his name!! <3

Glory to His name

His blood was applied for sin

THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS

AND THE CLEANSING AWAY OF SINS

In His full salvation, God first forgives us of our sins and cleanses us of our sins. When we receive God's full salvation, the first items we enjoy are God's forgiveness of our sins and His cleansing away of our sins.

"Without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness"

(Heb. 9:22).

God's forgiveness of sins is based on the shedding of blood 19] for redemption. Because He is righteous, God cannot forgive men's sins without a cause. His righteousness requires that all who sin must die (Ezek. 18:4). Unless His righteous requirement is satisfied, His righteousness cannot allow Him to forgive sinners of their sins. But since the Lord Jesus died and shed His blood on the cross according to the righteousness of God, thus satisfying God's righteous requirement, God can legally forgive men of their sins according to His righteousness. The Lord Jesus said, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins" (Matt. 26:28). Since the blood of the Lord Jesus was shed for men according to God's righteousness, thus fulfilling God's righteous requirement, it has become the basis upon which the sins of those who believe in Him may be forgiven.

Praise the Lord! The glory of God is involved with every step of the process that Christ went through – His incarnation, His human living, His death, His resurrection, His ascension, and His coming back. Glory to His name 😀

This hymn came to me this morning. I had to spend some time musing on it. It is clear the author had a deep experience of God’s cleansing blood and redemption. This must of really impacted him since he wrote several more hymns on redemption. I see the value of these spiritual hymns. They help me delve deeper into Christ and the experience of Him. Thank you Lord you shed your blood for my sins while I was yet a sinner. Sin is dealt with once and for all and I still need it applied to me daily for cleansing. Thank You Lord for this fountain so deep and wide. It can make the foulest clean!

This song is beautiful! The words should lead us to the word of God to read in Roman's chapters 3, 4, and 5 that deal with what this song is so wonderfully expressing. "Righteousness by faith" or Justification! Great is God's love, mercy, and long-suffering towards us that while we were yet sinners Jesus the Christ died for us!

So inspiring
