Torn relationship between God and man.
Simply put: Sin is the problem. Jesus is the solution.
What is sin? Selfishness. Independence from God.

John 19:30 “He said, ‘It is finished!’ And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”
Matthew 27:50-51 “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom;…”

Hebrews 9:7 “But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance;”

Hebrews 9:12 “…but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.”

Leviticus 16:34 “…to make atonement for the children of Israel, for all their sins, once a year.”
Atonement:— To bring into harmony and make one.
He didn’t just die for me … I died with Him. Died Buried Made Alive Raised Up Seated In Heavenly Places!!!

Leviticus 17:11 “… life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.”
You are not saved from and angry God; you are restored to a loving God!

“Scripture teaches … that life lies in the blood. Blood, therefore , is the mysterious link between matter and spirit. …certain it is that this is the mysterious link which unite these apparently dissimilar things together, so that the soul can inhabit the body, and the life can rest in the blood” C.H. Spurgeon

Four Observations:
1. It Has To Be Blood
Hebrews. 9:22 “… and without shedding of blood there is no remission.”

2. It had to be Jesus Blood
1 Peter 1:18-19 “God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.”

Acts 20:28 “Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”

3. Jesus’ Blood Had To Be Shed
John 10:18 “No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.”

“Jesus was cursed on the tree in our place and bore our sin in His own body. He did not bear our sin in His blood. It was just as holy on the cross as it ever was. As He offered the sin sacrifice to God, He was covered with pure, innocent, justifying, redeeming, sanctifying blood so that He was able to dismiss His spirit to His Father at death.” David Alsobrook

4. The Blood Must Be Applied
Two Ways Blood Applied In O.T.: 1. Diffuse – Hyssop – Everywhere 2. Directional – Using Finger
His blood covers everything and it penetrates in every particular.

You Must Apply The Blood!
Revelation 12:10
“And they overcame him (Accuser) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

Revelation 1:5-6
“To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

GOOD NEWS!!!
Jesus is the only cure to sin.
He declares you righteous.
Your accuser is destroyed.
You are forgiven, healed and free!!!

Hebrews 9:26 “But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.”
There only two types of people: 1. In Christ 2. In Adam
