Today is our Lord's Day!
This is a day when we should worship in spirit and in truth. As you probably are aware, I enjoy worshipping through music.
Today's hymn is by Elisha A. Hoffman, and is entitled, Are You Washed In The Blood? It is sung by Antrim Mennonite Choir. Here is a link for you to listen to and/or sing along: . The lyrics are below.
Are You Washed In The Blood
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
I know that I am!
We all need to be.
Just as we read, in Hebrews 9:22, "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
Yes, almost all things are by the law purged with blood. And, without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.
No remission of sin.
The law was written in the Old Testament portion of the Bible. Many people believe it does not apply, since Jesus came and the New Testament was created.
However, the Old Testament applies in some ways.
The law is no longer to serve us as a way to be saved. But, it does convict us of sin.
To be washed clean of sin, and to gain salvation, we need to be cleansed in the blood of Jesus.
So, my friend... hopefully, you are trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ. For if you are, you have been washed clean by His blood, and are now a born-again/saved Christian.
I am.
For this I praise God. And, always will!
Until next time...
