The Blood of Christ Was Enough!

What does the Bible say about the death of the Lord Jesus Christ? 

1. His death was eternally appointed. He was the spotless Lamb “Who verily was foreordained before 
the foundation of the world” (I Peter 1:20).
 

2. His death was divinely brought about. “It pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief; when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin...” (Isaiah 53:10). 
 

3. His death satisfied infinite justice enabling God to be “a just God and a Savior” (Isaiah 45:21). 
 

4. His death was substitutionary. “Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it” (Ephesians 5:25). 
 

5. His death was the ransom price for His captive people. “He obtained eternal redemption for us” (Hebrews 9:12). 
 

6. His death put away the sins of those for whom He died. “When He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of God” (Hebrews 1:3). 
 

7. His death restored chosen sinners back to God. “And all things are of God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ” (II Corinthians 5:18). 
 

The death of Christ appeased a holy God; the blood of Christ was enough. His substitutionary, justice-satisfying death does not wait upon nor need the faith of the sinner to make it effectual. All God demanded for the redemption of His people has been accomplished by the Savior. Ransomed sinners cannot perish; they cannot be condemned because Christ has been condemned in their stead. Blood-bought sinners will be effectually called to believe Christ. They will be made willing to come to Him in the day of His power (Psalm 110:3), to be saved solely by His blood and righteousness.

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...

JOYFUL TRUTH TO MISERABLE SINNERS ~ Take Heart, Friends

"...So by the obedience of one (or by ONE obedience) shall many be made righteous." - Romans 5:19 [KJV] Joyful truth to miserable sinners. O that this word was ever upon our minds, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are My ways your ways, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 55:8.)   Our thoughts are, to make ourselves righteous by our own obedience; and our ways are, to be justified before God by our own righteousness. But the Lord calls us to forsake these unrighteous thoughts, as well as wicked ways, and to submit by faith, to His thoughts and His ways, to be made righteous by the obedience of ONE.  Consider, (1st.) this negative implies that no obedience but ONE, can make any sinner righteous. O professor, what art thou seeking after, and striving to be and to do? What is the end of thy praying, reading, hearing, communicating, striving against sin, and seeking to excel in obedience, etc.? Is it to make thyself righteous? then it all proceeds from unbelief of t...
