For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ~Hebrews 9:13-14
"What could bring more
joy than to know you are guilty and yet hear God say, "Yes. your sins have
been blotted out. I will never throw them back in your face. I'm giving you a
fresh start and fresh power for saying no the next time." The good news of
the gospel is that God forgives people who don't deserve it but ask him for it
anyway. And he gives it freely. ...In the blood of the Lamb of God there is
deep cleansing that reaches into our inner parts where the blood of all the
other sacrifices could never reach. It reaches to the place where our
consciences accuse us and tell us that God would never allow someone so dirty
into His holy presence." ~Nancy GuthrieQuote from:
