The Wonder-Working Power of the Blood of the Lamb

There is indeed wonder-working power in the precious blood of the Lamb, which serves as the primary means for believers to overcome the influence of Satan and the corruption of sin Revelation 12:11EVRR390. This efficacy is rooted in the fact that Christ’s blood was shed as an infinite sacrifice to redeem a fallen race, providing the only remedy for the soul in its desperate sense of peril1MCP 32.4+1.

The Multi-Faceted Power of the Blood

The power of Christ’s blood is demonstrated through its ability to transform every aspect of the human experience:

• Cleansing and Purification: It washes away sins and cleanses the believer from all unrighteousness, making spiritual garments white 1 John 1:7+1EVRR390+1.

• Redemption and Purchase: We are not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, which bought the church of God and the souls of every individual Acts 20:28+1EVRR390+1.

• Justification and Peace: The blood justifies the believer, gives peace to the guilty conscience, and brings those who were far off near to God Romans 5:9+2EVRR390.

• Access to God: It provides boldness for the repentant sinner to enter into the holiest presence of God Hebrews 10:19EVRR390+1.

Overcoming Through the Blood

Overcoming is a cooperative work where we lay hold of the merits of Christ's blood through faithBDOC 64.13+1. While the blood provides the power, we are called to make an earnest effort to "wash our robes of character" by putting away every defect and sin15MR 27.2+1.

• Victory Over the Enemy: The remnant overcome the accuser of the brethren specifically by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony Revelation 12:11EW 114.2+1.

• Refining the Character: As the heart is washed in this fountain, the coarse becomes refined and the selfish becomes generous, bringing the soul into harmony with the divine lifeCOL 102.3+1.

• Protection from Destruction: Just as the blood on the doorposts in Egypt shielded households from the destroyer, faith in the atoning blood of Christ protects the believer and their family today2MR 147.3+1.
