AND THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; AND THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO DEATH. REVELATION 12:11
In the entire Bible, no other blood was pronounced "precious" except the blood of Jesus. It is also known. As incorruptible. The whole plan of redemption rests upon the power in the blood of Jesus. The old testament blood of the lambs and goats had no
power to take away sin. They could only cover sin; this was why the high priest repeated the sacrifice from year to year Hebrew 9:11, 10:1-4. In Exodus 12, God gave the Isrealites a life insurance through the blood of the lamb gave them a promise of protection from
the angel of death.
When the Isrealites obeyed the word of God by sprinkling the blood as commanded by God, they knew they were safe. The killing of the lamb and the shedding of its blood was not enough. The blood must be applied to the door post by faith. So the knowlege of any truth is not profitable until it is put to use. If you believe that the blood of Jesus has power to save, heal and deliver you, but you failed to personally apply it to any given situation, it will not work for you. Your unbelieve does not mean it has lost its power. It is the same as the person who believes that Jesus came and died on the cross for the salvation of the whole world, but to failed to accept Him as his saviour. So, no knowledge is productive or profitable until it is put to use. The blood of Jesus is still active and effective. Ask Him right now to wash you with it.
