Is the Blood of Christ Sufficient to Protect Us from Judgment?

Direct Answer

Yes — for those who are in Christ and have the blood of Christ applied, judgment will never touch them.

Les Feldick teaches that the pitch on Noah's ark pictures the blood of Christ, which seals out the waters of judgment. Once a believer enters the one door of salvation, God shuts the door; there is no human latch. The same blood that protected Israel's firstborn guarantees that the death angel cannot touch those covered by it.

Key Scriptures

Romans 8:37 — Paul directly connects believers' security and victory to Christ's love for them.

Romans 8:38-39 — It explicitly teaches that no power in heaven or earth can separate believers from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Exodus 12:13 — It shows the blood as the protective sign that caused judgment to pass over the people of Israel.

What Does the Bible Say?

Paul writes in Romans 8:37, 'Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.' He then expands in Romans 8:38-39: nothing — death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, or any other creature — 'shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.' In Exodus 12:13, the blood on the houses of Israel was the token that caused the Lord to pass over them, so that the plague of judgment did not destroy them.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About the Blood of Christ and Judgment?

Les Feldick takes the pitch on Noah's ark as a picture of the blood of Christ. Just as the pitch sealed out the waters of judgment, the blood of Christ seals out judgment from the believer. He says, 'Judgment will never touch the believer. Because of the blood of Christ.' Les emphasizes that the ark had one door; once we enter, God seals it — 'there is not a human latch on that door' (Clip 0).

What Did the Pitch in Noah's Ark Symbolize?

Les identifies the pitch as a type of Christ's blood: 'The pitch is going to keep it out. And remember, what's the pitch? The blood of Christ.' The waters of the flood were judgment on the unbelieving world, but the pitch sealed them out so that Noah's family remained safe. This is the same atoning effect that makes believers secure — not because of what they do, but because of faith in Christ's blood.

How Does God Seal the Believer into Salvation?

Using the one door of the ark, Les says, 'Once we go in that door of salvation, who seals it? God does. There is not a human latch on that door. God shuts us in.' Thus the believer's safety does not depend on human ability to hold the door shut. God Himself closes it, and the blood keeps judgment outside.

What Does It Mean to Be Under the Blood of Christ?

Les says 'we're under the blood, and nobody, no power on earth or in heaven can take us from under that blood protection.' The blood on the doorposts in Egypt guaranteed that the death angel would pass over. For the believer, the same blood protection means 'nothing can touch us' — including the forces Paul lists in Romans 8:37-39.

From the Teaching

God Seals the Door of Salvation

God personally seals the believer inside salvation; there is no human latch to fail.

The Pitch Is the Blood of Christ

The pitch on the ark is a direct picture of Christ's blood; because of it judgment cannot touch the believer.

Waters of Judgment Sealed Out

The floodwaters were judgment for the world, but for Noah's family the same waters were kept out by the pitch — a picture of our safety in Christ.

Secure by Faith in the Blood

Believers are secure not because of anything they do or deserve, but simply because they placed faith in Christ's blood.

Under the Blood Protection

No power in heaven or earth can remove someone from under the blood; the believer is as safe as Israel under the blood in Egypt.

Blood on the Door in Egypt

God has always required a blood sacrifice; the applied blood, not deserving, is what caused judgment to pass over.

Nothing Can Touch the Blood-Applied Believer

The blood applied to the believer means nothing can touch him or her; Romans 8:37 calls believers more than conquerors.

The Blood as Eternal Testimony

Christ's blood is presented before the throne of God as an eternal testimony to why believers are in glory.

Bible Verses

Genesis 6:14: Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

The pitch is the picture Les uses for the blood of Christ sealing out judgment.

Exodus 12:13: And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

This verse shows that the applied blood, not human worthiness, caused judgment to pass over Israel.

Romans 8:37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Paul connects the believer's complete victory to the love of God in Christ, which Les ties to the blood.

Romans 8:38-39: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nothing in heaven, earth, or the future can separate a believer from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
