We mean this in a fine distinction. There is a distinction between His shed blood and His crucified merit. To be forgiven and cleansed from our sin we must think upon His saving Cross; that is, this is the way sin is forgiven.
The Bible speaks to the atonement of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was the sole means by which God expiates and propitiates sin. We are forgiven by the blood of the Cross.
There was a pope in Roman Catholic history that said if Jesus scratched Himself by a nail and blood proceeded to come forth it would have been sufficient to atone for the sins of mankind; however, the Bible says that Jesus' crucifixion atoned for the sins of all kinds of people in mankind.
This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
