The Blood

Revelation 12.11 The Blood

 We experience the victory of Jesus Christ today
     when we believe and see ourselves under His blood.

A. THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB SPEAKS TO US [Heb 12.24]

 1.  God is telling us that we have a serious problem

 2.  God is telling us how seriously He loves us

B. THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB SAVES US [Rev 5.6, 9]

 1.  Four great Bible words and pictures

      a.  In the temple:  Propitiation  [Rom 3.24-25]

      b.  In the market place:  Redemption  [Rom 3.24;  1 Pet 1.18-19]

      c.  In the law courts:  Justification  [Rom 3.24;  5.9]

      d.  In personal relationships:  Reconciliation  [Rom 5.9-11]

 2.  What God has done for us

      a.  God takes the initiative of love

      b.  God addresses the serious problems that we have

      c.  God works our salvation through the blood of the Lamb

C. THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB SETS US FREE

 1.  Another problem:  the devil  [Rev 12.12-13]

 2.  The same solution:  the blood of the Lamb  

      Genesis 3.15
      Matthew 12.29
      John 12.31
      Colossians 2.15
      Hebrews 2.14-15
      1 John 3.8

      Resist the devil!  Stand firm in your faith!
      Overcome him through the blood of the Lamb!
