BOUGHT BY THE BLOOD

BOUGHT BY BLOOD

Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

As we look forward to Independence Day we can look back at the history of America and see that the freedom we experience today came at a great price, as many shed their blood and many gave their lives that we could be free.

As Christians we also recognize that the freedom we have was bought by blood, the blood of the Lamb of God, which He willingly shed on the cross so that we might be free from the bondage of sin. If you have accepted Christ as Savior then you have been set free. Everyday should be a Independence Day for the Christian.

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

There is a song that says it better than anything I could write. I could not find who wrote it, but writer was on point. It says:

Land of the Free, Sweet home of Liberty, It came at such a great cost

Our Soldiers brave and true, Gave their lives for me and you

Thank God for the red, white, and blue

(Chorus) Blood bought my freedom, Someone had to die

Someone freely took my place, Blood was the price for supreme sacrifice

Someone died that we might be free

Over the sea, On an old rugged tree

A battle was fought for you and me, It won’t be fought again

We have victory over sin, Thank God for Calvary

1Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

We Christians are bought with a price, the blood of Jesus Christ, which made the payment that only He could pay.

As you celebrate remember it cost someone’s blood for you to be free!!

Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
