Saved by the blood of Christ


Recently, I heard a brother refer to Christ’s wasted blood on the cross. That phrase stirred me to think. As he meant it, I believe, it referred to the soldiers piercing the side of Christ and His blood pouring out on the ground (John 19:34). You might say the blood of Christ was wasted in the sense that He did not deserve to die.

But the word “waste” means to “destroy, devastate, ruin.” It has negative connotations, as if Christ’s blood was poured out accidently. Some have also used the word “spilled.” However, there was no accident behind the death of Christ. He was crucified from the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:20; Revelation 13:8). He had to die if we would live (2 Corinthians 5:15).

That is the reason, the huge cost spent for the ads and medical representatives make the branded pharma-bi.com cialis discount pharmacyly.

These factors include:- Hypertension or High Blood Pressure- Hypertension prevents arteries in and around the male sex viagra tadalafil organ from acting properly, preventing a sufficient level of blood to flow into the male reproductive organ & thus this region does not become hard and robust thus, reducing the blood supply out of it. But there is a sense in which Christ’s blood is wasted. If someone does not put their trust in the resurrection of Christ, His blood is wasted (1 Corinthians 15:2). If someone does not obey the Gospel, Christ’s blood is wasted (2 Corinthians 6:1). If a Christian does not stay faithful to Christ, His blood would have been wasted (Galatians 4:11).  In those senses, Christ’s blood can be wasted.

Contrariwise, to make the blood of Christ of most effect, we’ve got to put our trust in its power. We need to obey the Gospel, culminating in being baptized into the blood of Christ (Romans 6:3-4). We also must stay faithful to Christ, even if it means death (Revelation 2:10). If we do these things, we will have taken full benefit of the blood of Christ and it will not have been wasted.
