(Romans 5:9) However, just as we are saved by the blood, we have to accept it, claim it, and submit to His authority: it isn’t automatic. We don’t get to go to Heaven because we know Jesus is the Son of God. Even the demons know this and they tremble at His name. (James 2:19) We have to take Jesus as Lord – the word “lord” means owner. Likewise, we have to appropriate our justice by the blood of Jesus.
