As we have labored here 'n study these ee - rs, both ntally and practically, we have done so on one common gro d, the blood f ' r Savior, Jes : Christ. In our book, we have tried to demonstrate this cle ing blood for saint and sinner - e. We read in God's Word, that without shedding of blo is no remission of sins. -2 9:22. So we see how God declared man to be righteous th ough the blood of Christ.

-1- 1 ff ff!! , The Life-Giving Blood -of For the life of the flesh is in the blood. Lev. 17:11. Present day medical authorities agree with Moses upon this subject. However, there is a life above the life of the flesh. We think of it as eternal life. Of this higher life Jesus said, Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life. The blood of Christ has a very definite relationship to the eternal life of the Christian. We know that without shedding of blood is no remission of sins. When our Sacrifice Lamb shed His life's blood, the justice of God was satisfied and He required no further penalty for our sins. But we who were dead in trespasses and sins needed more than to merely have the fine paidg we needed also to receive life. That life could not come to us just by taking the life of someone else, any more than you could light one candle by blowing out another. This is the problem that has stampeded the Modernists. But there was more than justice involved at Calvary. The blood of Christ was not only shed, but it is also now given as a life-giving agent to whosoever will receive it. As Jesus said, This cup is the New Testament in my bloody drink ye all of it. That blood of Christ gives us protection. Rev. 12:11 explains how Satan is overcome by it. He cannot dig into our records and bring up one sin to condemn us, because the blood of Christ has blotted them all -out. Like an embarrassed attorney who can find no evidence upon which to build a case, the devil is defeated before he starts in his scheme to keep saints out of heaven. Like the anti-toxin in the human blood stream overcoming diptheria before it can gain an entrance, the devil is overcome by the blood of the Lamb. The blood of Christ is as active as the Holy Spirit Himself. I John 5:8 speaks of their witness with equal emphasis. The eternal life that Christians possess in Christ is just as dependent upon the blood of Christ as the physical life that we possess in Adam is dependent upon the physical blood in our bodies. How could anyone get along without blood? Woodrow Brown John 6:54 .- -5 Lev. 17:11 ,, ,YY ,NW if fl- 4 :NUXP ff 'Y D
