04/17          Hebrews 9:14

“How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”

Key Points:

  1. Christ’s Blood is Perfect and Without Blemish – His sacrifice is pure and complete (1 Peter 1:18-19).
  2. His Blood Cleanses Our Conscience – We are made new inside and out (2 Corinthians 5:17).
  3. It Frees Us From Dead Works – We are no longer bound to lifeless religion but to faith (Romans 6:6).
  4. We Are Called to Serve the Living God – Redemption brings us into true worship and purpose (Romans 12:1).

PURIFIED


The altar stood with empty hands,
No offering could cleanse the soul,
But One was sent, the spotless Lamb,
His blood poured out for all.


No longer chained to lifeless deeds,
No longer lost in empty ways,
The sacrifice has been fulfilled,
And now my heart is clean.


Not by law, not by toil,
But by the blood that sets apart,
A conscience pure, a life renewed,
Made whole to serve the King.


The veil is torn, the way is clear,
No fear remains, no stain endures,
Through Christ alone my soul is free,
And I will walk in Him.


Purified, made new in Him,
The past erased, the debt is gone,
The blood that speaks a better word,
Calls me to His grace.
