MERCY SOLOMON – “THE PRECIOUS BLOOD” | FEAT. WISDOM ALEXANDER
Mercy Solomon’s new single “The Precious Blood,” which features Wisdom Alexander, is out now. If we trust in Jesus, He will give His life and shed His blood to reconcile us to God, just as sacrifices were made in the Old Testament. “However, if we walk in the light, as he walks in the light, we will have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, will cleanse us from all sin.” Revelation 1:7 Because of its relationship to life, blood signifies the supreme offering to God. God’s holiness and justice demand that sin be punished. The only penalty or payment for sin is eternal death. The offering of an animal and even our own death are not sufficient sacrifices to pay for sin. Atonement requires a perfect, spotless sacrifice, offered in just the right way. Jesus Christ, the one perfect God-man, came to offer the pure, complete and everlasting sacrifice to make payment for our sin. Hebrews chapters 8-10 beautifully explain how Christ became the eternal High Priest, entering heaven (the Holy of Holies), once and for all, not by the blood of sacrificial animals, but by his own precious blood on the cross. Christ poured out his life in the ultimate atoning sacrifice for our sin and the sins of the world.
