The Threefold Operation of the Blood of Christ • Deshen Daily

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? (Hebrews 9:14, KJV)

Have you realized that the blood of Jesus is the key to resolving not just spiritual but all forms of problems, whether spiritual or physical? This universal solution stems from the blood being the antidote to humanity’s root issue—sin from the Fall. Let’s delve into the powerful ways Jesus’ blood addresses the tripartite dimension of human challenges—about people, God, and Satan.

In the aftermath of Sin in the Garden, three critical issues arose. First, we transgressed God’s laws and incurred His wrath, necessitating His forgiveness. Second, sin tainted our very nature, necessitating an internal cleansing beyond divine pardon. Third, and often overlooked, sin granted Satan leverage over humanity and our dominion over the earth.

Understanding the sin’s tri-fold impact clarifies the comprehensive remedy Jesus’s blood provides. It operates in three directions: towards God, humans, and against Satan.

Hebrews 9:14 underscores the blood’s cleansing power, erasing sin’s stain and its consequences, leading to deliverance from sin’s grip (Ephesians 1:7). Genesis 3 catalogs the curse’s extensive reach, including human suffering and environmental decay. The blood of Jesus emerges as our hope, offering a way out of this desolation.

This blood secures our pardon from the Father and deliverance(again) from God’s wrath. Furthermore, its profound impact on human life and divine relations has dismantled Satan’s control. While Satan was not annihilated and erased from existence, his dominion over humanity is nullified—Jesus had disarmed and disgraced him.

Christ’s blood directly addresses our sin issue, influencing every aspect of life, be it emotional distress, financial woes, spiritual battles, health concerns, or relational conflicts. Every human predicament traces back to sin’s introduction in Genesis 3, positioning the blood of Jesus as a universal solution.

Understanding and applying Jesus’s blood is crucial, yet many believers still struggle with this concept. It’s surprising how frequently Christians search for some hidden or mystical practice to apply Jesus’s blood effectively. The truth is straightforward: understand what Jesus did on the cross, believe in that action, and move forward in faith. This includes actively declaring the truths about His blood in your life and situations, including the special sacrament of Communion until you experience a transformation.
