229 – The Blood of Jesus, by Itself, Is not what Saves You

The Bible Speaks to You: Embracing the Mindset of Christ

229 – How often do you hear: "The blood of Jesus saves you from your sins," or something to that effect?
The more I have pondered and prayed about all the Bible has to say about God's forgiveness of sins, Jesus's crucifixion, and more specifically, the blood of Jesus, I've come to the conclusion that there's more to forgiveness than just the fact that Jesus's blood was shed.
Spoiler Alert:
This may sound a little controversial at first, but when you listen to this episode, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
What really got me to thinking is something Paul says in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, about the crucifixion, the resurrection, forgiveness of sins, and our faith.
Too many Christians pass over this crucial passage of Scripture and miss the bigger picture of what Paul is saying about salvation and forgiveness.
That's what this episode is all about,

• Getting a bigger picture of how and why our sins are forgiven
• The blood of Jesus and why it's not just about the literal blood that flowed through his veins 2,000 years ago
• The deeper spiritual meaning of what the blood of Jesus represents
• Why the crucifixion of Jesus, along with his blood, are not enough to free us from sin

Let me know your thoughts on this topic. I'd love to hear your thoughts, even if you disagree.
