Why is the Blood of Christ Precious? [Audio & Video]
This video is a follow-up to an article I recently wrote on “The Precious Blood of Christ.” This video goes deeper into the question of why the blood of Christ is precious.
The blood of Jesus is precious to me because of my experience with the Lord. When I surrendered to Him in 1977, He spoke these words, “Precious is the blood of the Lamb, which was shed for you.” The blood of Jesus changed my life, and for that reason it is precious, valuable, and honored in my life.
The Scripture has much to say about the precious blood of Christ, and in this video or audio podcast we examine some of the powerful scriptures concerning the blood. We find out that the precious blood of Christ procured salvation for everyone in the world who will accept it. We find out that the blood of Jesus procures a powerful change in our inward man. And we see that the blood of Christ secures access into the very presence of God.
I hope you enjoy this powerful teaching from the Word of God on video or audio!

I. THE BLOOD HAS LIFE CHANGING POWER
For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies so that the flesh is purified, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
