GOSPEL NUGGET #379


Le 17:11 “…it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.”

Latch on the truth presented in the verse at the head of this short article. Remember it. Pay close attention to it. Treasure it. Lean on it. Embrace it. Be content and be satisfied of it. Never add or subtract anything to it. The salvation of your soul depends upon it.

To “atone” means to cover so as to cleanse. Our souls are defiled by sins. Sin has turned it into a leper. And in the eyes of God, only the sacrifice of blood offered by the Lord Jesus Christ when He died on the cross, nothing else, can atone for it.

False, man-made systems have twisted it. Unbelief would not accept it. We hear many saying: “It is good works that make atonement for the soul.” Others say: “It is religion that makes atonement for the soul.” Still some say: “It is religious activities that make atonement for the soul.”
All these reject the blessed truth of God that says “…it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.”

Have you entirely placed your faith and reliance in what the Lord Jesus Christ did for you when He shed His blood on the cross?
