COVENANT & THE BLOOD

Covenant & The Blood

Difference of the Old & New Covenant (Testament) is the blood. The old Covenant is from animal blood. The New Covenant is from the UN-BLEMISHED LAMB OF GOD! The Lamb of God is Jesus Christ, & Jesus has the power over the world by His Blood.
We need to know what the blood of the Lamb of God worth!! So we need to ask God to show us & to reveal the power & what the Blood Covenant is worth!
Original there could not be an atonement for us & reconciliation with out some kind of shedding of blood.

Leviticus 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, & I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.'

Blood being shed is death of a slain sacrifice for the sin of man. With the blood being sprinkled on the altar means God has accepted this vicarious death as an atonement for sin.
What it really comes down to that there is not any forgiveness or even a covenant without blood being shed.

Hebrews 9:15
And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death for the redemption of the transgression under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance

In the Old or First Covenant sin had built up before God. Now death now was needed for the redemption of sin. So the death of the Lamb of God was needed for our redemption of sins.
With the Lamb of God, bloodshed was the only way for the atonement of our sins. But the power of all sin was to be broken for ever with the Lamb of Gods blood being shed.
We now have a new covenant of redemption blood! The bloodshed had purchase & paid for the ransom from the power of sin & the law.
This transfer of property from the Old to the New is completed.
The price for our sins was paid in full by the shedding of the Lamb of God's blood.

1 Peter 1:18 - 19
18) knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
19) but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish & without spot.

Now we have the birthright of the New Covenant life. Christ has made us free. We will begin to believe the blessed promises of a New Covenant life & to be able to walk in the blessed promise. The promise of the New Covenant life & for us to walk in that fulfilled life.
