the Story of God's love

  • We are completely justified because of Christ

    Romans 5:9 – Much more then, now being justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Jesus Christ.


    Colossians 1:12-14 – Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins…


    Colossians 1:19-20 - For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.


    Hebrews 9:12-15 - Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

  • Sacrifice / bloodshed required

    Hebrews 9:22 – Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.


  • Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb, the perfect sacrifice, shed his blood

    1 Peter 1:17-19 – And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited form your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.


    1 John 3:16 – By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us…


    Ephesians 1:7 - In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace

  • The love of God makes possible the salvation of mankind.
