The Shed Blood That Justifies
A sermon outline by Richard A.
McIntee
Rom 5:8-9 But GOD commendeth HIS love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. Much more then, being now justified by HIS blood, we shall be saved from wrath thru HIM !
Mankind has many things in common. Our Genesis is traced to a single ancestor, Adam. Our rebellious nature, fallen estate, and need of Redemption also originate with Adam.
When Adam rebelled, and found that he could not cover his own nakedness, GOD provided a covering to hide Adams shame. The shed blood of that innocent animal has stained the ages of History, pointing the way to CHRIST, and HIS shed blood at CALVARY, by which Man can be made FREE from SIN!
Let us look, today, at "The Shed Blood That Justifies", and see That, as it Applied to Adam, it does also apply to each ONE of US!
Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons. Gen 3:21 Unto Adam and to his wife did the LORD GOD make coats of skins, and clothed them!
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thy seed and her seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise HIS heel!
Lk 1:34 Then said Mary unto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a Man? And the Angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, the power of the HIGHEST shall overshadow thee; therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the SON of GOD!!
I Pet 1:18-19-20 For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your father: but with the Precious Blood of CHRIST, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by HIM do believe in GOD, that raised HIM up from the dead, and gave HIM glory: that your faith and hope might be in GOD.
I John 1:7 But if we walk in the LIGHT, as HE is in
the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of JESUS CHRIST
HIS SON cleanseth us from all
Sin.
Rom 10:9-11 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved! For with the heart man believeth unto salvation, for the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on HIM shall not be ashamed.
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of GOD, which HE hath purchased with HIS own blood.
Rom 5:19 For as by one mans disobedience many were make sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
I John 3:1 Behold what manner of love the FATHER hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Sons of GOD:
I Thess 4:15-17 For this we say unto you by the WORD of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the LORD HIM-self shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel and with the trump of GOD: and the dead in CHRIST shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air; so shall we ever be with the LORD.
Though we have, among mankind, many things in common, we do not have all things in common. The Shed Blood of CHRIST has a distinct origin with GOD, a distinct purpose of redeeming mankind, and the distinct result of making each person, who will, a born again Child of GOD. There are many Who reject GOD's gift of salvation by Grace through Faith. Each one of us should ask our-selves the question "Am I covered by the Shed Blood That Justifies"?
