Ephesians 1:7 – In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
We have blood running through our veins and arteries. Without that blood constantly moving, we’d be dead, in a matter of minutes. So too is Christ’s Blood. He covered us with His Blood when He went willingly to Calvary and died for us to redeem us, took on death to set us free and washed us clean of our sins. Without His Blood we’re “dead.”
My thoughts are that the Blood of Jesus Christ is the ultimate expression of God’s love and sacrifice for us. It is the means by which we are reconciled to God and forgiven of our sins. It is also the source of our victory over the enemy and our assurance of eternal life.
The protection of God is the result of trusting in His blood and His promises. It is the confidence that He is with us, He is for us, and He will deliver us from all evil. It is the peace that surpasses all understanding, even in the midst of trials and tribulations. It is the joy that comes from knowing that nothing can separate us from His love.
Hebrews 9:14 – How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God.
We are Christian Soldiers in the Christian Army of the LORD. We are led by His Spirit and forge on, He cleansed us and therefore we are One in Christ. When we align in His Word and do all of which we are commanded to do, our lives are in harmony, and we will experience exponential spiritual growth.
Revelation 12:11 – They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
This is a statement in itself that shows how strong and how unwavering in their faith the overcomers are. They didn’t shrink away in fear but instead stood for Christ and His love. They are washed in the Blood of Christ and wearing robes of white in this vision in Revelation. The rewards of the faithful.
Psalm 91:1-2 – Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
When we follow Him, and pay heed to His Word and His will in all aspects of our lives, each day we live, we are confident in His promises to protect and lift us up and guide our paths, when we trust Him fully.
Isaiah 54:17 – No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
No one can overtake the LORD. No one can withstand and win against the LORD. So this passage is powerfully depicted that the LORD will protect us. No one can come against us, and no one will prosper. That means our enemy and evil. It will not be able to penetrate us, because we have on our gospel armor and believe in Christ and His blood protects us.
My thoughts on the topic are that the blood of Jesus Christ is the ultimate expression of God’s love and sacrifice for us. It is the means by which we are reconciled to God and forgiven of our sins. It is also the source of our victory over the enemy and our assurance of eternal life. The protection of God is the result of trusting in His blood and His promises.
It is the confidence that He is with us, He is for us, and He will deliver us from all evil. It is the peace that surpasses all understanding, even in the midst of trials and tribulations. It is the joy that comes from knowing that nothing can separate us from His love. Hallelujah!

A favourite verse about the protection of Jesus would have to be from Psalm 91:1-2,
‘He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and fortress, my God, in who. I trust.”’
God, my refuge, is the antidote for fear and anxiety. Those who desire to be free of these feelings, would do well to seek the LORD, knowing that as our safe place and comforter, We will lack no good thing as we wait and rest in Him.
Yes, Jennifer – that is a one of my favorite Psalms and such a familiar one with many. I love it and it is a great one to recall during any time of the day, or night. It’s comforting and truly a beautiful promise of God. Amen.
God Bless you~
