THE BLOOD THAT SPEAKS
THE SEED
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:7 (KJV)
There is no force in the world as powerful and life- transforming as the blood of Jesus. It is the very foundation of our salvation, the evidence of God’s mercy, and the seal of a covenant that cannot be broken. As believers, we are not only saved by His blood but called to live daily in the reality of its power. The blood of Jesus brings complete forgiveness and cleansing from sin. It reaches the deepest places of guilt and shame, making us righteous before God. No matter how far we’ve fallen, His blood is sufficient to restore and renew us. More than cleansing, the blood of Jesus gives us victory over the enemy. “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, …” (Revelation 12:11). The devil no longer has a legal claim over our lives. We are covered, protected, and empowered by the blood that speaks better things than any accusation. It is also through His blood that we gain bold access to God’s presence. We are no longer outsiders, but sons and daughters who can confidently draw near to the Father. Through the blood of Jesus, we are welcomed, accepted, and loved. Finally, Jesus’ blood established a new covenant; one that offers eternal life and grace to all who believe. At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:20). This covenant invites us into a lifelong relationship with God, not through works, but through faith in the finished work of Christ. The blood of Jesus is not just a part of our salvation story; it is our daily victory, our ongoing covering, and our eternal confidence. Live in the power of that blood today.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, thank You for the power of Your precious blood. May I never forget the price You paid, and may I boldly live as one who is covered and empowered by Your blood. Amen.
