BLOOD THROUGH THE AGES
Hebrews 10:1 10
Introduction:
1. Genesis 1:26 28; 2: 4 7
2. Man has always been supremely different
from all beasts of the field, birds of the air, fishes of the sea, and creeping
things. His BLOOD is also supremely different: 1 Corinthians 15:39 -- All flesh
is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of
men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
3. Since mans
beginning, God has required BLOOD to atone for sins. Blood is a crimson flow
seen throughout the Bible for the sins of mankind!

5.
1 John 1: 6- 10
-- If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie,
and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin,
we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his
word is not in us.
