Are we as believers today safe and secure under the blood like the Israelites in Goshen?
Scripture indicates that if we are under the blood, we are safe and secure, just as the Jewish households in Goshen were safe because the blood was applied to their doors. Their security rested not in their goodness but in the blood. This does not give license to sin, but it does provide complete safety.
Les explains that the Israelites in Goshen had nothing to worry about or fear; they were absolutely secure, not because of anything they had earned or their goodness, but because of the blood on the door. That was an act of faith; if they had refused the blood, they would not have been safe and would have lost their firstborn. Since Scripture gives no indication any Jews were lost, evidently every Jewish household in Goshen had the blood applied and was safe. Les says the same principle applies to believers today: if we are under the blood, we are safe and secure. He qualifies that this never gives us license, but just as surely as those Jews in Goshen were safe, those under the blood are safe. They did not need to weep and wail with 'what if' fears, even though they were sinners like we are; the blood applied made them totally safe and secure. Les notes he would develop this further from Romans and Ephesians, showing the exodus from Egypt was God's redemption of the nation.
Are we safe and secure if we are under the blood of Christ?
Yes, Scripture indicates that those under the blood are safe and secure, just as the Jews in Goshen with blood on their door were safe. This security rests not on personal goodness or merit, but on the blood applied by faith. It does not give license to sin.
Are Christians under the blood safe and secure like the Jews in Goshen?
Yes. Just as every Jewish household in Goshen was safe and secure because the blood was applied to the door by faith, so Christians who are under the blood are safe and secure. This security rests not on personal goodness or earning but on the blood, and it never gives license to sin.
