What is special about the blood of Jesus Christ?
By Tom M. Olsen
Yes, strange as it may
seem in this day when money is virtually the god of multitudes, the most
valuable thing in life can be had Without Money.
It may not be possible to secure
food, raiment, shelter, education and transportation without money; but that
which is more important and more interesting than all these is absolutely
free.
Undoubtedly it will be agreed that
the salvation of God is the most valuable thing in life. And, though at an
infinite cost to God, that salvation has been provided as a free gift to man.
This is evident from the words of the Apostle Peter to Simon: “Thy money perish
with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with
money” (Acts 8:20). God regardeth not the rich more than the poor (Job 34:19).
And not only is this salvation to be
had Without Money, it is also Without Price!
There may be those who will readily
admit that it is impossible to purchase God’s salvation with money, but who at
the same time insist that there is some sort of price to pay for it. To all
such, the following Scripture should make it plain that salvation is without
price: “Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24).
“Freely” here means “gratuitously,” “without
a cause,” “for naught.” And “grace means “everything for nothing to one who
deserves nothing but judgment.”
The Lord Jesus Christ paid the price
of salvation. He “gave Himself for our sins” (Galatians 1:4). The Son of God
“loved me and gave Himself for me” Galatians 2:20). Because He paid the
price-His precious blood- there remains no price for us to pay. We are
justified “freely” and “by His grace.” Further more, this salvation is also to
be had Without Works!
Most persons have difficulty in believing
that salvation is without works. They seem to be satisfied that they cannot
purchase salvation in any way, but they entertain the thought that they can
work for it. Let all such consider the following passages: “Not of works, lest
any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:9).
“Now to him that worketh is the
reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but
believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousness” (Romans 4:4-5).
“Who hath saved us, and called us
with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own
purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began”
(Second Timothy 1:9).
“Not by works of righteousness which
we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit”(Titus 3:5).
“Therefore we conclude that a man is
justified by faith “ without the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:28).
Upon believing the Word of Truth, the
Gospel of your salvation, you will receive the Holy Spirit. Possessing Him, you
will be able to “be zealous of good works” (Titus 2:14). But do not imagine
that this is working For salvation. Salvation is “without works”; but every
person already saved, should be zealous of good works-not to be saved, but
because he is saved. In addition to all this, salvation is to be had Without
Waiting!
It is difficult for many to believe
that salvation is to be had without waiting. They are laboring under the
impression that it is necessary for them to wait until they are better or to
wait for certain feelings or to wait for certain sounds and sights. They
imagine that they must wait for a “more convenient season.”
