Did Christ Purge Our Sins With His Blood?

     The Bible teaches us that Christ Jesus purged our sins by His blood, (Hebrews 1:3, "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high...").   (Hebrews 9:22, "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission").  It is through His awesome atonement that we are purged from our sins.  We are washed by the blood of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ.  He purged our sins away by the Cross, for in it is a life-giving fountain of true blessedness unto a glorious peace.  He indeed purged our sins by His blood, for the fires of purgatory was not necessary.   There is no suffering we must endure to enter heaven through purgatory, but the suffering of full satisfaction was through Jesus Christ.  The fires of purgatory are not the means of purging but the Cross is the means of purging.  He suffered in our place so we do not have to suffer in a way to satisfy divine justice.  Christ satisfied divine justice by His work of the Cross.  We need not add the fires of purgatory.  We ought to rejoice that our completeness is found in Christ alone.  Amen.
