The Blood Alone Saves
Exodus 12:13
Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you…
On the night of the first Passover, the children of Israel were probably anxious and nervous.
“Did you hear that the angel of death is passing through tonight?”
“Yes! And I was told to put the blood on the doorposts of my house and everything would be alright. Is that true?”
Like the Israelites, you might be wondering, “Can the blood really protect me? How much blood do I have to put on my doorposts? Will the angel of death get me if I am fearful?”
My friend, do not add to God’s conditions. He said, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you.” He did not say, “When I see the blood, plus your understanding, efforts, obedience, faithfulness and refusal to give in to fear, then I will pass over you.”
It is the blood alone that delivers you. If you think that it is your faith, then you will always be wondering, “Do I have enough faith?” No my friend, it is the blood alone that saves. And when God sees that you see that it is the blood alone that saves, He calls that faith in the blood, and every plague will pass over you!
God wants you to know that it is the blood alone that saves because every time you think that your deliverance depends partly on God, and partly on you, you will not have a settled peace in your heart. But when you know that it is the blood alone that saves, you will have an unshakeable peace.
It was the blood that saved the children of Israel from the destroyer on that Passover night and it is still the blood today that saves. And all you need to do for the blood to avail is to say, “Father, I thank you that the blood of Jesus alone covers me and my family. No evil, plague or disaster will befall me or my family because of the blood!”
