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 convenied time.
