What does God need to see before He can pass over and redeem someone?
God must see faith and the shed blood. He says that unless He sees faith and sees the shed blood, He cannot pass over or redeem anyone; His hands are tied. When a person places faith in the shed blood, forgiveness is received.
Les teaches that mankind today is still rationalized, saying that if they do this or that, surely God will accept them. But God won't accept that, because God says that unless He sees faith, and unless He sees the shed blood, He cannot pass over or redeem anyone; His hands are tied. Les emphasizes that we have to recognize these basic truths: when we place our faith in the shed blood, we have forgiveness.
