A Christian is justified by the blood of Jesus Christ and lives under the blood as a living hope. This is best displayed in the sacrifice that belonged to the law for the cleansing lepers in the Old Covenant that is written in Leviticus 14. This sacrifice is just like the other sacrifices of the Law, a foreshadow of the finished and perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and the power of His blood. Let’s look at the significance of the blood in the Bible and the life under the blood of Jesus Christ.
The sacrificial laws in the Old Covenant
All sacrificial laws that God instituted in His covenant with Abraham and his seed that are written in the Law of Moses and were executed by the (өндөр)тахилч(с) that were appointed by God, point to the perfect sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ on the cross and His blood, whereby a New Covenant came into being.
One of the sacrifices was the sacrifice of the law of the cleansing of lepers.
What is the law for the cleansing of lepers?
According to the law of the cleansing of lepers, the leperd had to be brought unto the priest. This didn’t happen in the camp but outside the camp.
The priest went outside the camp and looked and beheld if the plague of leprosy was healed in the leper.
If the leper was healed, the priest commanded to take for him that was to be cleansed two birds that were alive and clean, and cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.
The two birds, the cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop, were brought to the priest.
Then one of the living birds was killed in an earthen vessel over running water.
The other bird was taken together with the cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop, and dipped in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.
Then he would sprinkle upon the one that was to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and pronounce him clean.
The living bird that received grace and was dipped in the blood of the sacrificed bird was loosed into the open field.
The person that was to be cleansed washed his clothes. He shaved off all his hair and washed himself in water, that he might be clean. He returned to the camp but stayed seven days outside of his tent.
Then all kinds of rituals had to be performed, which can be read in Leviticus 14:9-32.
How the sacrifice of the two living birds is a foreshadow of Christ
This sacrifice ritual of the two living birds beautifully illustrates the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross and the life of a born-again believer under the blood.
Two random, innocent birds were captivated due to the leprosy of man in the flesh.
Адамын Бурханд дуулгаваргүй байдлын улмаас (нүгэл), үхэл хүн рүү оров, and his seed became corrupt.
Everyone that would be born of the corrupt seed of man would live under the condemnation and punishment (шүүхийн шийдвэр) for sin (руу. Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 5:12-19).
Every person is born in a fallen state as a sinner and possesses the corrupt nature of fallen man.
A person can’t help being born in sin.
Every person carries the sin in his flesh through the choice that man made in the Eden цэцэрлэг to not listen to the words of God and not obey His commandment.
Хүн болгон (every soul) is born under the curse and lives in a sinful flesh in a fallen (эвдэрсэн) state and stands guilty before God and demands a blood sacrifice.
God in His great mercy took care of the demand of the blood sacrifice. Тийм ээ, man had the ability to be redeemed from the curse of sin and the punishment for sin, үхэл юм.
God showed His love for humanity through Jesus the Christ. Тул хайрыг орхих, God gave a way out to be saved and escape His judgment through His Son Jesus Christ and by His blood.
Jesus came in the flesh and was born of the holy Seed of God
Although Jesus was fully human and a partaker of flesh and blood, Jesus was not born as a sinner in a sinful flesh in a fallen state living under a curse. That’s because Jesus was not born of the corrupt seed of man but of the holy Seed of God (Еврейчүүд 2:14).
But although Jesus didn’t come in a sinful flesh, Есүс махан биет ирэв and had the ability to become disobedient to God and sin and become equal to Adam’s state.
If Jesus couldn’t sin, the devil would not have tempted Jesus in the wilderness and during His life by the people around Him. After all, it was pointless anyway.
But Jesus could sin. Гэсэн хэдий ч, Jesus stayed yielded and fully obedient to His Father and His Spirit. He resisted every temptation and overcame all the temptation of the devil.
Jesus was both Son of God and Son of man. He had to become the Son of man. So that fallen man could become through and in Him a son of God (Энэ нь эрэгтэй, эмэгтэй хүмүүст хамаарна) and walk as a son of God after the Spirit on earth.
Jesus was taken captive for mankind
Бурханы тогтоосон цагт, Jesus prepared Himself for His вaptivity and the way of suffering He had to go in order to deliver the captives from their bondage and sufferings and set them free.
And so Jesus was captured and bound and taken to the high priest for interrogation. (Матай 26:50-27:54; Марк 14:45-15:39; Лук 22:47-23:48; Жон 18:3-19:30).
This proves that the spiritual leaders of God’s people deviated significantly from God. They had no insight and understanding regarding God and His Word and His Kingdom. Өөр аргаар, they would have recognized the Father in Jesus. Since Jesus was the brightness of His glory and the express image of His Person (Еврейчүүд 1:2-3).
Jesus was scourged and crucified for mankind
Хэдий боловч this lot was already determined by God before the birth, амөдрал, and captivity of Jesus, it became visible after His captivity when all the people of Israel demanded the release of the criminal Barabbas and the crucifixion of the innocent Jesus.
Jesus Christ was the One Who freely gave His life for humankind. He carried all the sins and iniquities, мөн нүглийн шийтгэл, үхэл юм, in His flesh and became a curse on the cross and died.
Jesus brought salvation for mankind
Jesus gave His life and died on the cross, and shed His blood, so that everyone that believes in Him and His sacrifice and accepts His blood would be saved.
Түүнийг шоронд, шүүлтийн талаар авсан: түүний үеийг хэн зарлах ёстой? Учир нь Тэр амьдын нутгаас таслагдсан: Учир нь Миний ард түмний зөрчлийн төлөө Тэр цохигдсон.
Тэр түүний булшийг хорон муу болгов, түүний үхэлд баян; учир нь тэр хүчирхийлэлгүй байсан, Түүний аманд ямар ч хууран мэхлэлт байсангүй.
Атал, Эзэн түүнийг хөхөхөд таатай байна; Түүнийг уй гашууг нь тавив: Та түүний сэтгэлийг нүгэл хийхийг санал болгох үед, Тэр түүний үрийг харах болно, Тэр түүний өдрүүдэд үр дүнтэй байх болно, ба the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
Тэр түүний сэтгэлийн травейлийг харах болно, сэтгэл хангалуун байх ёстой: Түүний мэдлэгээр Миний зөвт боол олныг зөвтгөх болно; учир нь тэр
Тиймээс би түүнийг агуу хэсгийг хуваах болно, тэр олзыг хүчтэйгээр хуваана; Учир нь тэр нас барсныхаа төлөө нас барав: түүнийг трансгрессороор дугаарласан; тэр олон хүний нүглийг нүцгэлдэг, болон трансгрессоруудын хувьд шийдвэрлэх
Исаиа 53:9-12)
Dipped in the blood of Christ
Just like the living bird was baptized (дүрсэн) in the blood of the living bird that was sacrificed for the leprosy of the man in the flesh, and was set free, so are you baptized in Christ in His blood. Through the baptism (dipping) in Christ His death, you are redeemed from the power of the devil, ба нүгэл, and death and cleansed and justified before God.
Адамын дуулгаваргүй байдлын улмаас, you lived under the power of death under God’s judgment (God’s wrath, God’s punishment). But through the obedience and the sacrifice of Christ мөн Түүний цусаар, you are redeemed thereof (the power of death and the judgment).
Миний хөгшин, you have redemption through His blood and are forgiven of all your sins, and are justified and saved.. (руу. Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 5:1-19; Галатчууд 1:4; 1 Баримталсан 6:11; 2 Баримталсан 5:21; Нягтрал нь 1:7; Колоссайчууд 1:13-14; 1 Тесалоникчууд 1:10).
Бүгд нүгэл үйлдсэн, Бурханы алдар сууг богиносгох болно; Христ Есүс доторх гэтэлгэлээр дамжуулан Түүний нигүүлслээр чөлөөтэй зөвтгөгдсөн: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, Өнгөрсөн нүглийн ангижралын төлөө Түүний зөвт байдлыг тунхаглахын тулд, Бурханы тэвчээрээр дамжуулан; тунхаглах, Би хэлээ, Энэ үед Түүний зөвт байдал: Тэр шударга байж болохын тулд, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus
Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 3:23-26
What is the significance and power of the blood of Jesus Christ?
The blood of Jesus contains the life of God and the power of the blood of Jesus is:
- You are forgiven of your sins through His blood (Нягтрал нь 1:7; Колоссайчууд 2:13).
- You’re redeemed through His blood (Нягтрал нь 1:7; Колоссайчууд 1:13).
- You are justified by His blood (Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 5:9; Дүрэм 3:7).
- You are reconciled by His blood (2 Баримталсан 5:18; Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 3:25; Колоссайчууд 1:20).
- You have peace with God through the blood of His cross (Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 5:1-2; Колоссайчууд 1:20).
Without the shedding of blood there is no redemption and justification
Without the shedding of blood, there is no salvation for humanity. And without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness, гэтэлгэл, justification, Стамжих, мөн Бурхантай амар амгалан (Еврейчүүд 9:21).
The life is in the blood. Тиймээс, a gospel without the blood is dead and doesn’t make a person alive.
Хуучин гэрээнд, everything that came in the service of God and belonged to God had to be purified with blood first.
Шинэ гэрээнд, Энэ тохиолдол хэвээр байна. Гэсэн хэдий ч, not with the blood of animals but with the blood of Jesus Christ.
Without the blood of Jesus Christ, a person is dead, and the faith is dead, and the preaching of the gospel that is proclaimed is powerless.
Есүсийн цусгүйгээр, a person is not forgiven, цэвэрлэсэн, гэтэлгэсэн, үндэслэлтэй, Бурхантай эвлэрсэн.
No work, ritual, арга барил, strategy, золиослох, or precepts and regulations of man can redeem a person from the power of the devil, нүгэл, үхэл, and justify and reconcile a person with God.
Only the blood of Jesus Christ can redeem, and justify and reconcile a person with God.
What is the significance of the baptism in Christ according to the Bible?
The baptism in Christ takes place after your repentance and not after your natural birth. The Bible speaks about a baptism in water and not a sprinkling with water (Матай 28:19; Марк 16:16; Лэг үйллал 2:38; 8:12).
For the identification with Christ, you need to be baptized. Христтэй таних замаар, through the baptism in the water of separation, чи ертөнцөөс тусгаарлагдсан (махан үхлийн улмаас) Бурхантай эвлэрсэн (сүнсийг үхэгсдээс амилуулах замаар), and you have peace with God.
Та түүний үхэлд хүрч байна, into His blood, and risen in His resurrection (Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 6:3:11).
The water separated you from the world and brought a separation between your old wicked sinful life (махан биеийн дараа) and a new holy life (Сүнсний дараа) Бурханд хуваарилагддаг.
Just like God separated the righteous from the unrighteous through the water (үер) -аар / -оор the Days of Noah, and separated His people through the water from the pagan life in Egypt and a holy life with God.
Тоомлох baptism in Christ, you are dead to the world and made alive unto God and have peace with God. (руу. Лэг үйллал 26:18; Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 5:1; 6:5-11; Нягтрал нь 2:13; Филиппичүүд 3:10-21; Колоссайчууд 1:20-23).
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Харин одоо Христ Есүс дотор заримдаа хол байсан та нар Христийн цусаар ойртож байна (Нягтрал нь 2:11-13)
As it is appointed unto men once to die, Гэхдээ энэ шүүлтийн дараа: Тиймээс Христ олон хүний нүглийг үүрэхийг санал болгосон удаатай; мөн Түүнийг эрэлхийлдэг хүмүүст Тэр хоёр дахь удаагаа авралд гэм нүгэлгүйгээр харагдах болно (Еврейчүүд 9:27-28)
The Life under the blood of Jesus Christ
You no longer live in darkness under the blood guilt of sin and death, whereof disobedience to God and His Word (зураг) and sinful works of the flesh bear witness.
But you’re baptized in His blood, washed, and resurrected and made a quickening (living) spirit in Christ that lives under the blood in the light in freedom, whereof obedience to God and His Word and the righteous works bear witness.
Есүсийн цус нь золиослол байв, a remission, and not a permit to keep sinning.
God is light, мөн Түүнд ямар ч харанхуй байдаггүй. Хэрэв бид Түүнтэй нөхөрлөдөг гэж хэлэх юм бол, мөн харанхуйд алхах, бид худлаа хэлдэг, мөн үнэнийг бүү хий: Гэхдээ хэрэв бид гэрэлд алхвал, as he is in the light, бид бие биетэйгээ нөхөрлөлтэй байдаг, Түүний Хүү Есүс Христийн цус биднийг бүх нүглээс цэвэрлэдэг
1 Жон 1:5-7
The new creation lives under the blood and is a witness of Jesus
The new creation is baptized into His blood and lives under the blood and is a witness of Jesus Christ.
Одоо, the new creation testifies, through his words and deeds and obedient life unto the Word in the truth and will of the Father, of the power of His blood and work of salvation for mankind.
You are God’s possession; your life belongs to God. God purchased you with the precious blood of His beloved Son, under which you live and you are set as a living hope for the people around you.
Учир нь Түүний амилалтын хүч and His blood shall be revealed through your faith and regeneration in Christ by the life you live and the works you do.
The life under the blood gives you a right and privilege to come boldly before the throne of God in the holiest, шинэ, амьд аргаар, Тэр бидний төлөө ариусгасан, хөшигөөр дамжуулан, гэж хэлэх, Түүний мах (руу. Сайхан эмэгтэйчүүд 5:1-2; Колоссайчууд 1:20-23; Еврейчүүд 10:19-20)
Одоо энх тайвны бурхан, Энэ нь үхсэнээс дахин авчирсан, Хонины гайхалтай хоньчин, Мөнхийн гэрээний цусаар дамжуулан, Түүний хүслийг биелүүлэхийн тулд сайн үйлс болгонд чамайг төгс болго, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, Есүс Христээр дамжуулан; хэзээ ч, хэзээ ч хамаагүй алдар суу. Бурхан
Еврейчүүд 13:20-21
