The Blood.

Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22; 1 John 1:7
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”―Leviticus 17:1111For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. (Leviticus 17:11).
“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”―Heb. 9:2222And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. (Hebrews 9:22).
WE should think much of the blood, it is our way of approach to God; a way is now open every moment into the Holiest of all. The guilty heart cannot approach God, it willingly sets up a fence. What removes it? The blood. Look at all the expenditure of His grace from first to last to bring us nigh. When the blood is rightly used and applied, what is the result? Nearness to God. Are you living in this nearness to God? If there be a question concerning guilt, there is a remedy―the blood; thus the heart gets confidence, and fear and disinclination are removed. People talk of knowing its power, but no man knows it aright who does not feel in the embrace of God. Whose blood is it? The blood of the Lord Jesus. He presents His own blood; He takes, as it were, the death which is past, and holds it up before God. He is the living Mediator, presenting the blood which He shed to redeem us to God. He knows our hearts, our sins, our weakness, our fearfulness, and He presents the blood to give us confidence and assurance.
