16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
When God looks upon man he sees one thing, either they are covered by the blood of his precious son or they are not. One day we will all stand before the judgement seat and we will be judged according to our works here on earth, but our works will never determine whether or not we make it to heaven. Our works will determine our heavenly rewards. One may have more jewels in their crown than the other, but one thing every single one will have in common is that they are covered by the blood. We have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ and his blood is the only thing that will never fade away. You may wonder how could God ever forgive me, you may believe your sins are so bad that nothing can save you, but you are wrong. Jesus died while we were yet in our sins. He loves you and all you have to do is seek him. The bible teaches us that if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that you shall be saved.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
When you make this confession, you will be covered by his blood and God will no longer see the sin, he will see the blood. Paul was chief among sinners, he persecuted the children of God, but once he was covered by the blood, he became a new man. You can too. I am so thankful this morning for the blood. Thankful that Christ will never leave me. It's my blessed assurance and it's what gives me perfect peace. If you have been searching for answers and nothing seems to work in your life, let me encourage you to take it all to Jesus. Talk to him, invite him into you life and find true peace and happiness. God bless you all this morning.
