Washed in the blood of Jesus

Genesis 2:7 Gen 2:6-7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being" NKJV

We know that God formed ("yatsar" Hebrew) man after His own image and then breathed life into man. John 1:4 "In Him was life...." and He gave mankind the life that only God has to give. In Genesis 2,3 and 4 we read that the animals life is in their blood but mankind life was in the breath of God. God has crowned mankind with glory and set them to rule over the earth. When man fell in sin he lost that glory and his authority and dominium as seen in Rom 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" NKJV

We can see from scriptures that before the fall Adam and Eve were naked but not ashamed because the glory of God clothed them, then they fell into sin and realised their nakedness and was ashamed and therefor hid themselves from God. After this unrighteousness increased untill Jesus came to redeem us from sin. It was not possible for man to come back to the image and glory of God without Jesus and that is why He died on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. Our wonderfull saviour. His blood was shed and in (Lev 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.") we can see that the blood forms a very important aspect of sacrifice. The blood makes atonament for the soul. As the high priests had to go into the Holy of Holies to offer blood for forgiveness of the peoples sins, so Jesus had to enter into the real Holy of Holies to present His Blood as an offering for sin.

The life of man after the fall was no longer the breath of God but in the blood and therefor he has a lower nature. Jesus came back to give us that glory of God back, so now we can once again be the breath of God, and be cleansed from sin and His glory can be in us again. The law and all its legal requirements against us was taken away on the cross. Lev 17:11For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.'NKJV
Col 2:14 "having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." NKJV Romans 8:8 says that there is therefore no condemnation for all who accepted this sacrifice. We are free from the law and the curse of the law.

Because of the cross, we have received a testament that say that we can be washed from our sins and that He will not remember it anymore. We can now enter into His presence ourselves, Jesus became our High Priest and Mediator so that we can hear Gods voice ourselves.
