DAY 2: The Blood WASHES You!

Revelation 1:5 “To Him who loves us and washed us from our sins by His blood…”

Remember the Father washed us! When you love something, you take care of it—whether it’s a car, a home or something more precious like a child. Well, God loves you so much, that He couldn’t fathom your sin separating you from His holy presence for eternity. So, He did something about it. He washed you. He removed your sin. Sin brings death. But He could only remove it with something more powerful than sin and death. The Bible says that LIFE is in the blood. So, the spotless blood of Jesus, brings His LIFE, canceling out our sin and death! Life conquers death! God does not merely cover our sins; He removes them and washes them completely away as if they had never been. 

The blood washes our sins away; and washes us, making us pure and holy. But it doesn’t stop there. Jesus’ blood redeems us from the curse of the law. The curse of the law included shame, sickness, disease, emotional illness, family problems and so much more. But Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law and its effects. The curse and its effects have no hold on you anymore!

The precious blood of Jesus reconciles you to God. When you are washed by the blood of Jesus, you are made right with God. Now, when God sees you, He does not see a sinful former version of you, He sees the cleansed and purified new version of you. In fact, when God sees you, He sees Jesus! 1 John 4:17 "because as He is, so also are we in this world." 

This is why you can now have an unhindered and unbroken fellowship with God. The sin that separated us from Him has been completely paid for, removed, and washed away! What can wash away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! 

DAILY DECLARATION:

Father, I thank You for the blood of Jesus that washes me and cleanses me from all of my sins. I no longer have to feel that I am not worthy of being in Your presence. I am so thankful that You do not just cover over my sins, but that You washed them completely away. Thank You that You have redeemed me from the curse of sin and failure, through the blood of Jesus, and I am no longer bound by my past or generational curses. Thank You, Father, that the blood of Jesus guarantees that sin no longer separates me from fellowship with You. I can walk hand in hand with You. Amen!
