what does the bible say about the blood of Jesus

Yes Gigi.

That is wonderful. Let's not forget about those before Abraham. By faith they made sacrifice also.

All those sacrifices pointed forward to one who would come out of the loins of Abraham.

He would be a King and Priest after the order of Melchizedek. ( King of Salem) Christ has made us Kings and priests also!!

What's unique about that is under the Law, The Leviticus Priesthood couldn't hold the office of Kings and priests.

Only Melchizedek, Christ and the Church!! Revelation 1:5-6.

Peter confirms that in two words; (Royal Priesthood) in 1 Peter 2:9.

God bless.

Yes, S. Spencer, I agree, the everlasting covenant reaches back to Adam and forward until all is fulfilled.

I spoke of the covenant made to Abraham because we have a Biblical account of this covenant. We do not have an account of all that God said to and promised to Adam and Noah, etc. We have a bit about it. I am sure God spoke many things to those who walked with Him from the time of Adam onward. I tend to think that these people of ancient times knew more about our redemption than is recorded in Scripture. This is the basis for their faith, as it says that Abraham had the gospel preached to him and he saw the day of Christ. But Scripture does not record this conversation. I am sure that God spoke often with Adam and Noah and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We know how much He spoke with Moses 'face to face' from the books Moses recorded.

But God has left a witness for Himself in every age.

I agree Gigi.

We do have the results of them following instructions In the book of Hebrews.

We know that faith comes by hearing. Romans 10:17.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Hebrews 11:4.

Abel offered his offering by faith.

We know in Genesis he offered the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. The sacrfice must have been specific instructions.

Goodnight and God bless.

Good night to you, too, S. Spencer,

Please pray that I can fall asleep quickly. Been nights where it takes hours and hours for me to finally fall asleep. So, your prayers are appreciated. Glad to be retired and not HAVE to get up for work or anything. It was difficult to go without sleep and then go to work. So, at least now, it is frustrating, but I just deal with it the next day.

I've had that problem as well Gigi for a long time.

Now I have trouble staying sleep.

I don't know why but I wake up every morning around 2:30 am. Sometimes I can go back to sleep and sometimes I can't.

Hi Anita.

The shed blood of Jesus Christ is the most important factor of all 66 books of the Bible

The wages of sin is death.

Romans 6:23.

There's no remission of sins without the shedding of blood.

Hebrews 9:22.

Jesus took our sins upon himself and cleansed and sanctified us.

Hebrews 13:12.

Christ died the sacrificial death for the whole world.

John 1:29.

John 3:15-17.

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Feel free to msg back if you have any more questions.

God bless.

So right, Steven

Jesus fulfilled the everlasting covenant the Godhead made before the creation of the world and delivered to Abraham.

How wonderful!
