Thus Christ died, not only to obtain the blessings of salvation for us, but to give power to the disposal of them. All, by sin, were become guilty before God, had forfeited every thing that is good; but God, willing to show the greatness of his mercy, proclaimed a covenant of grace. Nothing could be clean to a sinner, not even his religious duties; except as his guilt was done away by the death of a sacrifice, of value sufficient for that end, and unless he continually depended upon it. May we ascribe all real good works to the same all-procuring cause, and offer our spiritual sacrifices as sprinkled with Christ&#8217;s blood, and so purified from their defilement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>* \u00a0~ \u00a0* \u00a0~<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665\u00a0~ <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u00a0\u271e \u00a0<\/span>~\u00a0\u2665\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">~ \u00a0* \u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heavenly Father, I pray for each and every woman reading this blog that they would not believe the lie that there is no hope for their situation. \u00a0But, instead, receive the Truth that there is ALWAYS Hope in You!!! \u00a0Thank You for the blood sacrifice so that we may obtain grace and healing. \u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name!
