The Sufficient Blood<\/b><\/p>\n
His blood is so sufficient He tells us in His word On the mercy seat in heaven It was put there by our Lord.<\/p>\n
It stops the accuser of the brethren As he walks before the throne Our God just points to the blood And Satan knows He cares for His own.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s sufficient for any situation To nourish, to cleanse, and keep. Oh, magnify your name my Lord My soul with rapture leaps.<\/p>\n
Can my sins though oh so many Make this blood of no avail Once I\u2019ve named the name of Jesus In my heart, I cannot fail.<\/p>\n
His word has proclaimed it The work begun in me Will someday be completed When His dear face I see.<\/p>\n
And when I dwell in heaven As the ages roll along Oh, that precious blood of Jesus Will be my victory song.<\/p>\n

Revelation 12:11<\/b><\/p>\n
And they overcame Him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Rev. 12:11)<\/p>\n
This is the last reference in the Bible to the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; here it is the overcoming blood, enabling believers to withstand the deceptions and accusations of Satan. There are at least 43 references to the blood of Christ in the New Testament, all testifying to its great importance in the salvation and daily life of the believer.<\/p>\n
Judas the betrayer spoke of it as \u201cinnocent blood (Matthew 27:4) and Peter called it \u201cthe precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot\u201d (1 Peter 1:9). It is the cleansing blood in 1 John 1:7 and the washing blood in Rev. 1:5, stressing that it removes the guilt of our sins. Paul calls it the purchasing blood in Acts 20:28 and the redeeming blood twice (Eph. 1:7); Col. 1:14, see also 1 Peter 1:18\u201319, Rev. 5:9), thus declaring the shedding of His blood to be the very price of our salvation. Therefore, it is also the justifying blood (Rom. 5:9) and the peacemaking blood (Col. 1:20). Its efficacy does not end with our salvation, however, for it is also the sanctifying blood (Heb. 13:12). There is infinite and eternal power in the blood of Christ, for it is \u201cthe blood of the everlasting covenant\u201d (Heb. 13:20). The first reference in the New Testament to His blood stresses this aspect. Jesus said, at the last supper: \u201cThis is my blood of the new testament (same as \u2018covenant\u2019) which is shed for many for the remission of sins\u201d (Matthew 26:28). Let no one, therefore, even count the \u201cblood of the covenant. . an unholy thing\u201d (Heb. 10:29), for the blood of Christ is forever innocent, infinitely precious, perfectly justifying, always cleansing and fully sanctifying.<\/p>\n
