Christian - forgiven - grateful

Welcome! My name is Richard Templin Hancock and I am a senior citizen who has found great peace in his old age in the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers to sinners. I enjoy reading my Bible and recording short Devotional podcasts with the aim to encourage us all to have faith in God and follow His Son Jesus Christ every day.
I hope the following blog posts will be an encouragement to you:

Redemption Through The Blood Of Jesus

Have you been redeemed by the blood of Jesus?

Colossians 1:14: "In him we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins."

Ephesians 2:13: "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ."

Hebrews 9:14: "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

1 Peter 1:18-19: "knowing that you were redeemed from your futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot."

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood;

Signs of blood-bought Christians:

Saved by faith not works: 
Galatians 2:16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

Saved by faith to be obedient to Jesus: 
1 John 2:3-6  This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

Only the blood of Jesus Christ can remove all sin, and remove it permanently. If you have not already, put your faith in Christ's sacrifice for your sins as your only hope to be put right with God.
