IF we examine the value of the death of Christ, what do we find attached to it in Scripture?
Do I need redemption? We have redemption through His blood, an eternal redemption; for “neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by His own blood, He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption." (Eph. 1:77In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; (Ephesians 1:7); Heb. 9:1212Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Hebrews 9:12).) Do I need forgiveness? That redemption which I have through His blood is the forgiveness of sins-yea, 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).) Do I need peace? He has made peace through the blood of His cross. (Col. 1:2020And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. (Colossians 1:20).)
Do I desire to be dead to sin and have the flesh crucified with its affections and lusts? “I am crucified with Christ." " Knowing this that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed; for in that He died, He died unto, sin once, and in that He liveth, He liveth unto God." This is my deliverance also from the charge and burthen of the law which has dominion over a man as long as he lives. (Gal. 2:2020I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20); Rom. 6:66Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. (Romans 6:6).)
Do I feel the need of propitiation? Christ is set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood. The need of justification? I am justified by His blood. (Rom. 3:25; 5:925Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (Romans 3:25)
9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (Romans 5:9).) Would I have a part with Christ? He must die; for except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone; if it die it brings forth much fruit. (John 12:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. (John 12:24).)
