I am writing this article at 1 am in the morning. I want to post a song here that I feel everyone needs to hear. This article is called, “Thank God I am free from this world of sin.” The truth is that I am not totally free from this world of sin yet, but I will be soon at the rapture of the church. Just look at all the sin and wickedness in this world. My heart is a little full right now. And I totally love the way these children sings it and enjoy. Every true born again Christian will totally understand the real meaning of this song so please listen and enjoy the song. The true meaning of this song should move every born again Christian because it is the blessed hope of every Christian. And I feel it is going to happen soon in this sin cursed world and all true Christians will be going home with the Lord in the rapture of the church.
If you understand the true meaning of this song, and the event that will take place for every Christian, then you are truly blessed. Just imagine what eternal life with the Lord Jesus Christ will be like in heaven. No pain, no sin, no sickness, no heartache no more doubts and fears.
WHAT DID SALVATION COST?
Got questions says, “The blood of Jesus Christ plays a central role in Christian salvation, symbolizing the ultimate sacrifice of our Savior’s life for the atonement of sin, the establishment of a new covenant, and the justification and redemption of humanity.
The blood of Christ was shed through His suffering and death on the cross. He bled as He was flogged and when a crown of thorns was put on His head (John 19:1–2). When soldiers nailed spikes through His hands and feet (Psalm 22:16; John 20:25) and speared His side, the blood of Jesus flowed (John 19:34). This shed blood was the price our Savior paid to cover the debt we owed to God for our sins: “He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world” (1 John 2:2, NLT).
The significance of blood in the context of atonement and salvation traces back to the Old Testament. In the sacrificial system instituted by God for the Israelites, the blood of animals played a crucial role in the atonement of sins. Leviticus 17:11 states, “For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.”
The punishment for sin or breaking God’s law was one’s life (Exodus 32:33). God’s perfect justice against sin demands “a life for a life” (Genesis 9:5–6;Exodus 21:23). Animal sacrifices were a stopgap; they could not achieve the removal of guilt and forgiveness of sin (Hebrews 9:9–10) and had to be repeated year after year (Hebrews 10:1–4, 11).
In the New Testament, the concept of atonement for sin through the shedding of blood is fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. He stepped in, took our punishment upon Himself, and paid the price with His blood—His life for ours—fulfilling God’s demand for perfect justice (Romans 3:25; Ephesians 1:7;Hebrews 10:10). Redeemed believers are “made perfect” and “made holy” by Christ’s one perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 10:14–18). His blood poured out on the cross “cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7, NKJV)
John the Baptist identified Jesus as “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). This metaphor highlights Jesus as the ultimate and perfect sacrificial lamb whose blood was shed for our salvation. When Christ offered Himself on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins (Hebrews 7:27; 9:14), His lifeblood was accepted by God the Father as payment in full for every last sin—past, present, and future—for the whole human race. No earthly treasure, no silver or gold, can compare to the value of “the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God” (1 Peter 1:18–19, NLT).
At the Last Supper (Matthew 26:17–30; Luke 22:7–30; Mark 14:12–26), Jesus emphasized the importance of remembering the sacrifice of His blood. Christ took a cup, gave thanks to God for it, and then said to His disciples, “Each of you drink from it, for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many” (Matthew 26:27–28, NLT).
On the cross, Jesus established the New Covenant, replacing the old sacrificial system with His own sacrifice. In the ordinance ofcommunion, believers partake of the bread and the cup, symbols of Christ’s body and blood, in remembrance of His sacrifice. This observance tangibly reminds us of the cost of our salvation and the New Covenant established by Christ.
The apostle Paul elaborates on the role of Christ’s blood injustification, a legal declaration of righteousness: “Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!” (9
Romans 5:). Justification entails being declared righteous in God’s sight and saved from condemnation. The blood of Christ cancels the charge of our legal indebtedness by nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:13–14). Believers are no longer destined to face eternal punishment (John 3:18; Romans 5:16; John 12:48; Revelation 20:11–15).
Knowing that the blood of Christ has secured our salvation brings assurance and peace (Colossians 1:19–20; Ephesians 2:13–14; Romans 5:1). The writer of Hebrews expounds, “So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven. . . . With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever. . . . Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins . . . so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them” (Hebrews 9:11–15, NLT). As we reflect and look on the blood of Christ, may we always be grateful for the costly and precious gift of our salvation.” AMEN AND AMEN, THANK YOU JESUS, FATHER AND HOLY SPIRIT.
CONCLUSION
Dear Reader, have you ever truly been born again and had all of your sins forgiven by the true God of heaven and earth? Joining a church only makes you a church member, that is not salvation from sin, self and satan. We all have done wrong things that we should not have and God calls that sin. God will never accept any sin at all but will forgive all sin if you come to Him for forgiveness. God forgives all sin, because Jesus died on an old rugged cross to pay for everyones sins. Jesus being God Himself and being totally holy took our place and paid the penalty for everyones sins. That is why God accepts us, because of what Jesus did for us, in paying the price for our sins, once and for all and forever.
Have you ever been saved from sin by the blood of Jesus Christ? Have you accepted Christ into your heart and life as you own personl Savior? If not, Will you put your faith and trust in Jesus for Eternal Salvation? Will you bow your heart, and call upon God.

God’s Righteous, eternal love,can change your life, and save your soul eternally. II Corinthians 5:21 “For he (GOD) hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
