How can a person appropriate everything God accomplished on the cross?

Les teaches that the only way to appropriate everything God accomplished on the cross is through the two imperatives he put on the board. The first is that without faith it is impossible to please God; the second is that without the shedding of blood there can be no remission. Both of these knock out the good works people. They do not know what faith is, do not take God at His word, and say they are doing it on their own. They also shun the blood. But the cross required the shedding of His blood; it had to be a death where that was evident. Had the Jews killed Him by stoning, it would not have fulfilled the shedding of blood seen in the crucifixion. So one must come by faith and rely on the blood.
