SANCTIFICATION paradox

Isaiah 1:18

King James Version

18 Come now, 

and let us reason together, 

saith the Lord: 

though your sins be as scarlet, 

they shall be as white as snow; 

though they be red like crimson, 

they shall be as wool.

It truly is a paradox.

How the LORD's blood can cleanse and wash us from all sin.

Though our sins "be as scarlet", they shall be "as white as snow".

Though they be "red like crimson, they shall be "as wool".

Only through the blood of JESUS can we be cleansed from all sin, and unrighteousness.

 1 John 1:7

King James Version

7 But if we walk in the light, 

as he is in the light, 

we have fellowship one with another, 

and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son 

cleanseth us from all sin.

Not through the blood of animal sacrifice:

Isaiah 1:11

King James Version

11 To what purpose 

is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? 

saith the Lord: 

I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, 

and the fat of fed beasts; 

and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, 

or of lambs, 

or of he goats.

Because our hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 1:15

King James Version

15 And when ye spread forth your hands, 

I will hide mine eyes from you: 

yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: 

your hands are full of blood.

In the end times, GOD's wrath will cause much blood to pour.

Revelation 14:18-20

King James Version

18 And another angel came out from the altar, 

which had power over fire; 

and cried with a loud cry 

to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, 

Thrust in thy sharp sickle, 

and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; 

for her grapes are fully ripe.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, 

and gathered the vine of the earth, 

and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, 

and blood came out of the winepress, 

even unto the horse bridles, 

by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

When JESUS returns, He shall be clothed this way:

Revelation 19:13

King James Version

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: 

and his name is called The Word of God.

His armies will be in white.

Revelation 19:13-16

King James Version

14 And the armies which were in heaven 

followed him upon white horses, 

clothed in fine linen, 

white and clean.

He shall have a sword to "smite the nations", causing more blood to pour.

Revelation 19:13-16

King James Version

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, 

that with it he should smite the nations: 

and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: 

and he treadeth the winepress 

of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh 

a name written, 

King Of Kings, 

And Lord Of Lords.

It's really time to turn away from our sins now.

For the day is at hand.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, and believe the gospel.

From a previous post, we know we need to be sanctified.

But do you also know why GOD wants us sanctified?

Know, on the next post.

END times

SANCTIFIED by BLOOD

 Romans 6:6

King James Version

6 Knowing this, 

that our old man is crucified with him, 

that the body of sin might be destroyed, 

that henceforth we should not serve sin.

We have no idea the power of the cross.

Nor the power of the LORD's blood.

Wherein we have been sanctified.

Scripture testifies of it:

Matthew 26:28

King James Version

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, 

which is shed for many 

for the remission of sins.

King James Version

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

according to the riches of his grace;

King James Version

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, 

which hath made us meet to be partakers 

of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, 

and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

even the forgiveness of sins:

Hebrews 9:12-14

King James Version

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, 

but by his own blood he entered in once 

into the holy place, 

having obtained eternal redemption for us.

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, 

and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, 

sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14 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 10:10

King James Version

10 By the which will we are sanctified 

through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ 

once for all.

Hebrews 10:14

King James Version

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever 

them that are sanctified.

Hebrews 10:18-22

King James Version

18 Now where remission of these is, 

there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brethren, 

boldness to enter into the holiest 

by the blood of Jesus,

20 By a new and living way, 

which he hath consecrated for us, 

through the veil, 

that is to say, his flesh;

21 And having an high priest over the house of God;

22 Let us draw near with a true heart 

in full assurance of faith, 

having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, 

and our bodies washed with pure water.

Hebrews 13:12

King James Version

12 Wherefore Jesus also, 

that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, 

suffered without the gate.

1 Peter 1:1-5

King James Version

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, 

to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, 

Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, 

through sanctification of the Spirit, 

unto obedience and sprinkling 

of the blood of Jesus Christ: 

Grace unto you, 

and peace, be multiplied.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

which according to his abundant mercy 

hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 

by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, 

and undefiled, 

and that fadeth not away, 

reserved in 

heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God 

through faith unto salvation 

ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 1:18-19

King James Version

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed 

with corruptible things, as silver and gold, 

from your vain conversation received 

by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, 

as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

1 John 1:7

King James Version

7 But if we walk in the light, 

as he is in the light, 

we have fellowship one with another, 

and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son 

cleanseth us from all sin.

1 John 5:6

King James Version

6 This is he that came by water and blood, 

even Jesus Christ; 

not by water only, 

but by water and blood. 

And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, 

because the Spirit is truth.

Revelation 1:5-6

King James Version

5 And from Jesus Christ, 

who is the faithful witness, 

and the first begotten of the dead, 

and the prince of the kings of the earth. 

Unto him that loved us, 

and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests 

unto God and his Father; 

to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. 

Amen.

The precious blood of JESUS saves us from our sins.
