Q: What does "faith in the blood" mean"?
A: Romans 3:24-25 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Without the blood there would be no atonement – no forgiveness of sin, no redemption, no justification. There would be no salvation. Jesus died for our forgiveness. But there’s a caveat – he didn’t just die, he didn’t fall asleep and not wake up, he didn’t have a heart attack or something like that. He died a horrible, bloody death, he was buried and 3 days later he was resurrected.
It’s important to recognize that without the blood, there would be no atonement, no remission of sin.
We who have faith in the blood will receive atonement for our sins, we will be forgiven, redeemed and justified. Salvation comes by the grace of God through faith in the blood of Jesus. We believe the blood to be the object of our faith, Jesus to be the who of our faith, his bloody death, burial and resurrection to be the what of our faith.
