For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Colossians 1:19–20
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Hebrews 9:22
The Accuser causes us to… • … look more at our sin than our savior. • … obsess over pastsins that can’t be undone. • … think our troubles must be punishments. • … think the innerstruggles and feelings we have, real Christians wouldn’t have. • Declare that you are fully forgiven and loved by God. “Pleadthe blood”
“Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? Job 1:9–10
Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. Isaiah 5:5
God protects us more than we realize. Give thanks! God’s protection is not haphazard. Pray for protection. “A hedge of protection”
