Hebrews 9:14, 22

"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? … And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission [forgiveness of sins]." Hebrews 9:14, 22

I can certainly identify with Dr. Paul Brand who said, "I used to think it strange that the Bible keeps talking about the cleansing power of the blood. 1 Peter 1:2. It seemed to me that blood was messy stuff. I needed to wash my white lab coats if they became stained with blood. Today, I love the analogy; it is so true of the body. The blood is constantly cleansing every cell, and washing away all the debris that accumulates all the time. I like Paul's phrase in Hebrews. Hebrews 9:14. 'How much more shall the blood of Christ purge [cleanse] your conscience from dead works?'" (Dr. Paul Brand in God's Forever Feast, Discovery House, 1998.)
