Romans 5:15

"But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many." Romans 5:15

Blood So Divine

Acts 20:28 -
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Was the blood shed 2000 years ago man's blood or God's blood? Acts 20:28 states that the blood shed was from God. How can God have blood when God is a spirit? God is invisible, the only way to shed blood is for God to become man, and he did so 2000 years ago.

To save the sinful man we need a sinless man, but God is the only one sinless, none else. For man to be saved, we need a man to represent us to die for our sin. Therefore the only way for man to be saved, God needs to become man to die for man so that man can be saved. It is not impossible for God become man, for man was made in the image of God.

When God become man, He does not cease to be God. He retain all the attributes of Godliness. Yet He was man, having blood. He needed to shed the blood to redeem us from our sin, for the Bible says that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Romans 5:8-9. There must be the shedding of blood and death, before man can be saved.

1John 1:7 - it is very clear that the blood of Christ has the power to save. Human blood can only give physical life, but Christ's man is different. It is the blood of God-man, the only one with the power to save. The blood of Christ is separated from the death of Christ, it does not just refer to death, for it is not the death that save man, but the blood. The blood that shed 2000 yrs ago can still wash away our sins today and in the past and future. This is the miracle of God, we cannot explain it, but we accept it by faith.
