The Shed Blood of Christ | Romans Bible Study
Father God, thank you for this time that we can spend reading and studying your word, in particular today the book of Romans chapter 3. Thank you Father for the shed blood of Christ and how that He died for our sins, was buried and rose again for our justification. And that by simple faith in this glorious gospel, we are saved. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen.
The shed blood of Christ
Hebrews 9:22b in the KJB says, "and without shedding of blood is no remission."
And Romans 3:25 says, "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
Have you ever noticed that within Christendom there are many false gospels that leave out the shed blood of Christ? They will tell people "just believe in Jesus"! But to be saved today we are not to just believe in Jesus, but to also believe how that Christ died for our sins (He shed his blood for us!), and that He was buried and that He rose again for our justification.
There are also others that leave out His resurrection. One particular denomination believes that they are crucifying Jesus over and over again, all over the world, all throughout the day via their so-called priesthood magic! But Christ died ONCE for all AND He is now risen from the dead and has been living in a glorified body for over 2,000 years now in the 3rd Heaven!
Romans 6:9-10 says,
[9] Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. [10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
1 Cor 15:20
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
Romans 8:34
“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”
Without the shed blood of Jesus as well as His burial and resurrection, we would ALL still be in our sins and destined to eternity in the lake of fire!
1 Corinthians 15:17
“And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.”
But thanks be to God for the shed blood of Christ as well as for His resurrection! Here is the gospel by which we are saved from the very moment that we simply believe it:
1 Cor 15:3-4
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
