Are You Washed In The Blood?

Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it.
-       Don Herold, b.1889.



   I have often wondered:  What will the atheist-evolutionist do when he opens his eyes in Eternity and find that the Bible was authentic and the Gospel of Jesus Christ all the time was true … how will he then deal with his sin, and what will he do with his moral guilt before a holy God?  How will those arrogant atheist writers and cocky agnostic authors of atheist-agnostic literature from the thousands of libraries, bookshops and book-collections of individuals, withdraw all they had said in favour of atheism and against Heaven and against God?  What will they do in the eleventh hour when their Internet-profanity, -blasphemy and -vulgarity, so in vogue with many today, are broadcast to the world and to Heaven for everyone to see ... will they not in truth be fleeing in haste before the pursuing Angel of Retribution the way the Nazis tried to flee before the encroaching armies of the Allies during WWII, but to no avail?        Furthermore, will they not certainly be prosecuted and indicted in the Heavenly Courts exactly the way the Nazis were indicted and sentenced at Nuremberg… on the stark and uncompromising evidence of the very incriminating books, records, statistics and documents they themselves so painstakingly had kept with that well-known engineering precision for which they were so 'famous' from 1939 to 1945?  
   The final question is asked of all of us:  How will we all escape if we neglect so great a salvation so brilliantly and lovingly engineered by Christ's Gospel of Grace?  The Bible says:

Hebrews 2:1  Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away from them.
Hebrews 2:2  For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
Hebrews 2:3  how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard (www.e-sword.net, ASV).

  The door of God’s GRACE (God’s Redemption At Christ’s Expense) is still open for anyone to access the holy blood of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and for reconciliation with God.  Let us not deal with this magnanimous offer too lightly.

Are You Washed In The Blood?

(Elisha A. Hoffman, 1839-1929)

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb.

CHORUS
Are you washed (are you washed)
In the blood (in the blood)
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
