SPIRITUAL BAILOUT

“REJOICING IN YOUR SPIRITUAL BAILOUT”
HEB. 10: 18 - 24

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
We hear so much about bailouts today I was concerned with this topic. Bailouts today have a negative taste. Who is going to bail me out? Jesus Christ has already provide the bailout for all who will come to him.
I. THE CLEANSING POWER OF HIS BLOOD.
A. Romans 3: 22 – 26 All have sinned and needs redemption.
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

B. Heb. 9: 20 – 22 Under the Old Law the tabernacle and all the vessels were cleansed by the blood of animals.
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
C. Heb. 9: 23 – 28 Under the New Testament or new law Jesus cleanses us through his blood.
23 ¶ It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.


D. Matt. 26: 27 - 28 Jesus took the cup and said.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
E. Rom. 6: 9 –11 Jesus offered one sacrifice, himself.
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

There are three ways the blood cleanses us.
1. All past sins are forgiven in baptism.
2. The child of God is continually forgiven day by day as they walk in the light of Christ.
3. The faithful Christian will be saved in heaven on that final day of judgment.








II. A CONVICTING POWER IN THE BLOOD TO BAIL US OUT.
A. Rom. 6: 23 One convicted of sin deserves death.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The seriousness of sin is played down today. Did you hear of the woman that hit the man walking down the road and after he went through the windshield and was hanging there she drove home and put the car in the garage and left him till he died and then took him out of the windshield and dumped his body in a public park. She locked her car with all the blood and broken windshield in the garage. They are charging her with murder and she is pleading not guilty.
That is the world today. It does not want the responsibility of sin. Living together in fornication is considered a lack of commitment. Not ready to commit to marriage. Adultery is considered incompatibility and both parties are innocent and free to remarry. Sex outside of marriage to some is a trial to see if your compatible for marriage, and guess what, after a while many determine they are not ready for marriage so they find someone new. Lying, cheating, stealing are thought by some to be childhood diseases that they will grow out of. Sin is sin and only the blood of Christ can bail us out.






B. 1 Cor. 6: 9 – 11 The bible calls it sin of the unrighteous.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1. We are convicted of sin.
2. Our only hope is to be washed in the blood of Jesus Christ.
3. Through his blood we can be sanctified and justified in the name of Jesus Christ.
C. 2 Cor. 5: 21 Sin is so terrible that only the blood of Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God can cleans us.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
In the darkness of the saviors death on the cross we are led to see just how bad sin is. The suffering of Christ, the shedding of his blood convicts us that sin is real, that it is a dreadful thing that can only bring death if we are not washed in Jesus blood for forgiveness.




III. THE DRAWING POWER OF THE BLOOD.
A. John 3: 16 - 17 Are we not drawn closer to God because He loved us so.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
B. John 15: 12 - 14 No greater love is shown.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
C. Rom. 5: 6 – 10 Reconciled to God by the death of Jesus Christ his son.
6 ¶ For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
God’s love is seen in that Christ died for us when we were not his friends but his enemies. He loved our souls anyway.
D. 1 John 4: 7 - 13 Not that we loved God but:
7 ¶ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
John for certain was not writing to the world, but to Christians.
There is no greater power than the love of God to draw us to him. There is no greater demonstration of God’s love than the shedding of the blood of his only son. There is power in the blood to draw us to God.
There is power, power, wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb.
A Bail outPower to cleanse us from all sin. No matter how bad or big that sin may seem to be. For to God sin is sin Only man tries to grade sin.
Isa. 1: 18 The Lord said,
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
There is power in the blood to convict us that we are sinners in need of salvation.
The reality of sin is convincingly displayed in the blood.
There is power in the blood to draw us near to God.
There is power in the blood to melt the cold heart of man as he thinks upon the love of God manifested in His sons blood.
Why not make up your mind now to come to Jesus. Let Him bail you out. What are you waiting on?
Why not be baptized into Jesus Christ for the remission of our past sins?
If you’re a Christian do you need to come back to your first love? Jesus has promised he will forgive all that repent. It is not to late.
Do not leave Jesus Christ on the desk like the donuts.
