blood of Christ

Types and Shadows Fulfilled in Jesus Christ
(Part 4 of 7)

Without Shedding of Blood, Part 4 of 7: Types and Shadows Fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Colossians 2:17 (KJV): “…a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” Every shadow points to Jesus Christ and His shed blood.

The Passover lamb, the sin offering, the high priest, and the mercy seat were shadows, and the body is of Christ.

The Day of Atonement:
Blood Within the Vail (Part 3 of 7)

Without Shedding of Blood, Part 3 of 7: The Day of Atonement: Blood Within the Vail. Leviticus 16:30 (KJV): “…that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.” Water cleansed the priests. The blood made the atonement.

On the day of atonement the high priest carried blood within the vail, while water only cleansed the men who served.

The Sin Offering:
Forgiven Through Blood (Part 2 of 7)

Without Shedding of Blood, Part 2 of 7: The Sin Offering: Forgiven Through Blood. Leviticus 4:20 (KJV): “…the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.” Every promise of forgiveness followed shed blood, not water.

Every sin offering in Leviticus 4 promised forgiveness through shed blood, and its washings never made atonement.

Without Shedding of Blood:
Hebrews 9:22 and the Passover (Part 1 of 7)

Without Shedding of Blood, Part 1 of 7: Without Shedding of Blood: Hebrews 9:22 and the Passover. Hebrews 9:22 (KJV): “…and without shedding of blood is no remission.” God sheltered Israel by the blood on the door, not by water.

Hebrews 9:22 allows no remission without shed blood, and God first taught that truth on the night of the Passover.

Peter: Remission Through Believing
(Part 4 of 12)

Salvation in Jesus Christ, Part 4 of 12: Peter: Remission Through Believing. Acts 10:43 (KJV): “...through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” Cornelius received the Holy Ghost before he ever stepped into the water.

Peter’s own preaching: whosoever believeth receives remission, and Cornelius received the Holy Ghost before the water.

Ten Bible Passages Wrongly Used to Say Water Baptism Is Necessary for Salvation

wrong baptism examples

Ten passages used to argue that water baptism is required for forgiveness, salvation, or cleansing from sin, and what each one actually says. Forgiveness comes through faith in Jesus Christ and rests on His shed blood. A KJV study.

His Blood Shed for the Remission of Sins
(Part 3 of 12)

Salvation in Jesus Christ, Part 3 of 12: His Blood Shed for the Remission of Sins. Matthew 26:28 (KJV): “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Water baptism bears witness to that finished work. It never takes its place.

At the Last Supper Jesus Christ tied the remission of sins to His shed blood, and the whole New Testament agrees.

Jesus Said, Believe on Me (Part 2 of 12)

Salvation in Jesus Christ, Part 2 of 12: Jesus Said, Believe on Me. John 6:47 (KJV): “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” Jesus Christ promised everlasting life to all who believe on Him.

Jesus Christ’s own repeated promise of everlasting life to all who believe on Him.

Bless the LORD, O My Soul:
Psalm 103:1-6 Bible Outline

Bless the LORD, O my soul. Forget none of His benefits: He forgives, He heals, He redeems, He crowns, He satisfies. Psalm 103:1-7. PrevailingWord.net

A simple KJV outline of Psalm 103:1-6: bless the LORD with your whole soul, remember His benefits beginning with forgiveness, and trust the God who does right.

Search the Scriptures:
What Saves? (Part 1 of 12)

Salvation in Jesus Christ, Part 1 of 12: Search the Scriptures: What Saves? Acts 17:11 (KJV): “...they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Test every teaching on salvation against the whole Word of God.

The Berean rule for the whole series, and the foundation: grace, the blood of Jesus Christ, faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, then baptism.
