Salvation Is Not Free - It Cost The Lord Jesus Christ His Own Blood On The Tree At Calvary

Mark 15:29-31 'And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying...Save thyself, and come down from the cross... Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save'*

(*mocking, yet all the while profoundly proclaiming the very gospel which they believed not. Come down from the cross? - Nothing but the blood of the only Saviour Christ Jesus will ever wash away your sin)

Leviticus 17:11  'For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul'

Heb. 9:18  'Whereupon neither the first testament [OT] was dedicated without blood'

Heb. 10:4  '...[but] it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins'

Heb. 9:28  'So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many...'

Col. 1:14  'In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins'

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain

God the LORD the creator of heaven and earth [Isaiah 45:18] does not forgive sin because he is all-loving and merciful and "knows your heart" and because "he loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life". No, God forgives sin for one reason only: because...of the blood. Confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, and thou shalt be saved: Rom 10:9

Rev. 18:4
