What kind of faith must we have in Christ's blood?
We must have an abiding faith in Christ's blood, trusting that His death provided the required blood payment for sin. This faith rests on God's grace through redemption in Christ Jesus, not on anything we do, believing His divine, precious, sinless blood was shed to satisfy the Creator's requirement.
Les explains that justification is freely by God's grace, not by anything we do, but through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God set forth Christ to be a propitiation through faith in His blood. Les emphasizes there has to be that abiding faith in the fact that when Christ died, He shed His divine, precious, sinless blood. That was the requirement from the Creator Himself: there had to be a blood payment for men's sin debt, and you cannot escape it. Through faith in His blood, God declares His righteousness for the remission of sins, showing Christ to be just and the justifier of those who believe. Les says nothing else can be added to it.
