REMISSION BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

 

NO OTHER ONE BUT JESUS


 

O what a Savior Jesus is,

How suited to our need;

He died to save us from our sins,

For so it was decreed.

 

No other One could rescue us,

No other One could save;

To purge us from our guilt and shame,

His life He freely gave.

 

Who else but Jesus Christ alone,

The law could satisfy;

He suffered on the bloody tree,

Our souls to justify.

 

Who else but God the Father’s Son,

For us could intercede?

His Name alone prevails with God,

No other name we plead.

 

 

O may the blood and righteousness,

Of Jesus ever be;

Our only trust and confidence,

Our only hope and plea.

      “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth’s sake.  Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?  But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.” -Psalm 115:1-3 [KJV]

     “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” -Hebrews 9:22 

 

Never imagine that the power of the blood of the Savior to wash away guilt and sin is somehow or other conditioned upon the sinner’s faith being added to that blood.  It is certainly true that none are pronounced forgiven but those who are brought by the Spirit of grace to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.  “And by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses” (Acts 13:39).  However, that is not to say that faith procures forgiveness.  “It is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul” (Leviticus 17:11).  “In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7).

Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 19 October, 2025 A.D.

"Behold, he prayeth!"   -Acts 9:11 [KJV] In many trades, it is customary to shew samples or patterns. By these men judge of the goodness or quality of the whole. St. Paul sets himself forth as a sample, or pattern, of the free, distinguishing, sovereign, unmerited grace of God, that we should judge of its nature by its efficacy upon him. “I obtained mercy, for this cause, that in me first   (-a first rate sinner) Jesus Christ may shew forth His all long suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting”   (I Timothy 1:16.) Thou hast seen this pattern of free grace. What dost thou think of it?  The whole is alike with the pattern. It cometh alike upon elect sinners. It finds no more prerequisites, fitness, qualifications, or conditions in any, than it did in St. Paul. Whenever it takes place upon any, it produceth the same effects as it did in him. Grace and mercy from Jesus, makes Saul pray to Jesus. There is the ...

THE GREAT TRUMPET BLAST ~ The Joyful Sound!

"The great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come, who were ready to perish." -Isaiah 27:13 [KJV] One trumpet has been blown, at the giving of the law, on mount Sinai: the voice of it sounded long, and waxed louder and louder. It made even Moses to fear and quake exceedingly, and all the people tremble. Soon, very soon, (who knows but it may be the next moment, in the twinkling of an eye?) the last trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised (I Corinthians 15:52.)   Tremendous voice! most solemn sound! The prophet asks, “Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?” (Amos. 3:6.) If the alarm of war, and the approach of an enemy should be sounded in the dead of the night, what fear and terror would seize us! Must we hear the sound of the last trumpet, calling us to judgment?  Blessed, eternally blessed be our God, for the blowing of this great trumpet: it is the sound of great love: it proclaims salvation—to whom? Even to great s...

Light Rising in the Darkness: Take Heart, friends...

"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness." -Psalm 112:4 [KJV] We often get into such dark paths, that we seem altogether out of the secret, and feel as if there were no more grace in our souls, than in one altogether dead in trespasses and sins. And whether we look back at the past, or view the present, or turn our eyes to the future, one dark cloud seems to rest upon the whole; nor can we, with all our searching, find to our satisfaction that we have one spark of true religion, or one atom of grace, or one grain of vital godliness, or any trace that the Spirit of God has touched our consciences with His finger. Now, when we are in this dark, benighted state, we want light; we want the blessed Sun of righteousness to arise; we want the south wind to blow a heavenly gale, and drive the mists away; we want the clouds to part, and the light of God's countenance to shine into our souls, so as to shew us where we are, and what we are, and make it cle...
