Neither 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

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people . . . that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. —Luke 1:68, 74–75

He has obtained an eternal redemption for us. You are eternally redeemed. To redeem means to “buy back” or to “set free.” Through his sin, Adam sold you out to the devil, sin, and the curse, but Jesus, with His own blood, paid the price for you and your redemption. You are now, today, set free from all the power of darkness. Sin, sickness, fear, guilt, condemnation, and lack are all things of the past for you, because you have been set free by the Blood. Do not tolerate the lying symptoms and circumstances designed to take you out of your redemption. Jesus entered in once and has obtained eternal redemption for you! It is yours! Think about it, meditate on it, and praise Him for it! Resist anything that tries to steal it! You are the redeemed!

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. —Psalm 107:2

Jesus’s sacrifice and the shedding of His blood was a permanent remedy, forever. His blood obtained for you an eternal redemption. It does not matter how you feel about it or how the situation may look—you are eternally redeemed. Jesus entered in once, and He will not go back to the cross and die for you again, just because you slide off into unbelief. No! You have been eternally redeemed once and for all, forever. Don’t let circumstances and natural evidence steal your redemption from you—keep your eyes on the Blood and your redemption. “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so”—all the time.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus . . . —Hebrews 10:19

With guilt, sin, and condemnation wiped away, you now have the ability to enter into the presence of God boldly and without fear. Meditating on the Blood will take away your sin-consciousness and give you a justified thought life. “Therefore being justified by faith [in the Blood, you] have peace with God” (Romans 5:1). You are no longer distant from God, no longer far away; you have been “made nigh by the blood” (Ephesians 2:13). Your new relationship is not a fear relationship, but a faith and love relationship. You no longer go to church, read the Bible, and pray because you are afraid of God, but because you love God. Love becomes the drawing force, giving you a hunger to know Him and to have close fellowship with Him. Everything you do now in the Kingdom is love-motivated—because He first loved you (1 John 4:19). If you sin, do not go back into sin, condemnation, and self-works, but confess the sin and believe in the Blood. He is faithful to forgive and cleanse (1 John 1:9).

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in . . . —Hebrews 9:12

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? —Hebrews 9:14

Animal blood was no more than a Band-Aid to cover up the sin problem. It was a temporary fix until the real sacrifice was made and the real Blood was shed. For centuries, man had tried to deal with sin in his own efforts. He did penance, practiced self-denial, even caused himself to suffer—all in an attempt to get free of guilt and condemnation. Adam and Eve used a fig leaf to try to remedy their situation, but they were still afraid of God. The blood of Christ is the only antidote for sin and guilt. Christ’s blood wipes away not only your sin and your past, but the old you. The Blood has re-created you after God, in righteousness and holiness, forever (Ephesians 4:24).
