The Power of the Blood of Jesus (Updated and Annotated) Quotes

“The Righteousness of God no longer terrifies man. It meets him as a friend, with an offer of complete justification. God’s countenance beams with pleasure and approval as the penitent sinner draws near to Him, and He invites him to intimate fellowship. He opens for him treasure of blessing. There is nothing now that can separate him from God.”
― Andrew Murray, The Power of the Blood of Jesus

“without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins." Without remission of sins there is no life. But by the shedding of His BLOOD He has obtained a new life for us. By what He calls " the drinking of His blood " He shares His life with us. The blood SHED in the Atonement, which frees us from the SIN, the guilt of sin; and from death, the punishment of sin; the blood, which by faith we drink, bestows on us His life.”

“Faith is not merely a thought of which I lay hold, a conviction that possesses me—it is a life. Faith brings the soul into direct contact with God, and the unseen things of heaven, but above all, with the blood of Jesus. It Is Not Possible to Believe in Victory over Satan by the Blood without Being Myself Brought Entirely under its Power. Belief in the power of the blood awakens in me a desire for an experience of its power in myself; each experience of its power makes belief in victory more glorious.”

“Reconciliation, pardon, and cleansing from sin, have all an unspeakable value; they all, however, point onwards to sanctification. It is God’s will that each one who has been marked by the precious blood, should know that it is a divine mark, characterizing his entire separation to God; that this blood calls him to an undivided consecration to a life, wholly for God, and that this blood is the promise, and the power of a participation in God’s holiness, through which God Himself will make His abiding place in him, and be his God.”

“Our faith may be strengthened by noticing what the blood has already accomplished. Heaven and hell bear witness to that. Faith will grow by exercising confidence in the fathomless fullness of the promises of God. Let us heartily expect that as we enter more deeply into the fountain, its cleansing, quickening, life-giving power, will be revealed more blessedly. We know that in bathing we enter into the most intimate relationship with the water, giving ourselves up to its cleansing effects. The blood of Jesus is described as a “fountain opened for sin and uncleanness.” (Zech. xiii, I). By the power of the Holy Spirit it streams through the heavenly Temple. By faith I place myself in closest touch with this heavenly stream, I yield myself to it, I let it cover me, and go through me. I bathe in the fountain. It cannot withhold its cleansing and strengthening power. I must in simple faith turn away from what is seen, to plunge into that spiritual fountain, which represents the Savior’s blood, with the assurance that it will manifest its blessed power in me. So let us with childlike, persevering, expectant faith, open our souls to an ever increasing experience of the wonderful power of the blood.”

“Let us receive faith into our hearts in the perfect power of the blood, and let us forsake all that is not in accord with the purity of the Holy Place. Then we will begin to feel more at home in the Holiest Place. In Christ, who is our Life, ye who at another time were far off are made near by the blood of the Christ (Ephesians 2:13). Then we learn to carry on all our work in the Holiest. Everything we do is a spiritual sacrifice that pleases God in Jesus Christ.”

“The blood of Jesus must be brought by the Holy Spirit into direct contact with our hearts to cleanse them from an evil conscience. The blood removes all self-condemnation. It cleanses the conscience, which then witnesses the complete removal of guilt. There is no longer the least separation between God and us. The conscience bears witness that we are pleasing to God, our heart is cleansed, and we are in true living fellowship with God. Yes, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin – not only from the guilt but also from the stain of sin. Through the power of the blood, our fallen nature is prevented from exercising its power.”

“Let us draw near with a true heart – a heart that truly desires to forsake everything to dwell in the Holiest – forsaking everything to possess God. A true heart abandons everything in order to yield itself to the authority and power of the blood. A true heart chooses the new and living way in order to go through the veil with Christ by the rending of the flesh. A true heart gives itself entirely to the indwelling and lordship of Jesus.”

“We have seen that the beginning of all sanctification is separation to God as His possession to be at His disposal. Isn’t this just what the blood proclaims? That the power of sin is broken; we are loosed from its bonds; we are no longer its bondservants; but we belong to Him who purchased our freedom with His blood. Ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20). This is the language which tells us that we are God’s possession. Because He desires to have us entirely for Himself, He has chosen us, bought us, and set upon us the distinguishing mark of the blood to live only for His service. The idea of separation is clearly expressed in the words we often repeat, Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. Let us go forth, therefore, unto him outside the camp, bearing his reproach (Hebrews 13:12-13). Going out from all that is of this world was the characteristic of Him who was holy and undefiled, separate from sinners, and this must be the characteristic of all His followers.”

It was the revelation of a divine truth – it is only through death that a life truly consecrated to God is possible.”

“The hidden value of His blood is the spirit of self-sacrifice, and where the blood really touches the heart, it works out in that heart, a like spirit of self-sacrifice. We learn to give up ourselves and our lives, so as to press into the full power of that new life, which the blood. has provided.”

“By his conscience man realises his relationship to God, and n evil conscience tells him that all is not right between God and himself ; not merely that he commits sin, but that he is sinful, and alienated from God. A good or clear conscience bears witness that he is well pleasing to God (Heb. xi, 5). It bears witness not only that his sins are forgiven, but that his heart is sincere before God. He”
