Life in the Blood
By Henry M. Morris, Ph.D.
“For the life of the flesh is in the
blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your
souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul”
(Leviticus
17:11).
This
great verse contains a wealth of scientific and spiritual truth.
It
was not realized until the discovery of the circulation of the blood by the
creationist scientist William Harvey, in about 1620, that biological “life”
really is maintained by the blood, which both brings nourishment to all parts
of the body and also carries away its wastes.
Its
spiritual truth is even more significant.
The
blood, when shed on the altar, would serve as an “atonement” (literally, “covering”) for the soul of the guilty
sinner making the offering.
In
fact, the “life” of the flesh is actually its “soul,” for “life” and “soul”
both translate the same Hebrew word (“nephesh”) in this text.
When
the blood was offered, it was thus an offering of life itself in substitution
for the life of the sinner who deserved to die.
Human
sacrifices, of course, were prohibited. No man could die for another man,
for his blood would inevitably be contaminated by his own sin.
Therefore,
the blood of a “clean animal” was required.
Animals
do not possess the “image of God” (Genesis 1:27),
including
the ability to reason about right and wrong, and therefore cannot sin.
Even
such clean blood could only serve as a temporary covering, and it could not
really “take away” sin.
For a permanent solution to the sin
problem, nothing less was required than that of the sinless “Lamb
of God, which taketh away the sin of the world”
(John
1:29).
“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His
own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption for us” (Hebrews 9:12).
Since His life was in His blood, He has “made
peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:20).
God the Father chose
to send Jesus to the cross to show His love and the seriousness of our sin.
Jesus accepted to take our
punishment, to save all who would believe.
Why not receive God's gift of salvation and become His child?
Open your
heart and say this prayer:
“Father God, I
confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and live a new
life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me,
and help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that
Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is
alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to
become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day
forward. Thank You that according to Your Word, I am now born again.
Please send your
Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I
promise to study Your Word - the Bible.
Use me for Your
glory.
In Jesus' Name I
pray. Amen.”
"WHOSOEVER shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved," (Romans
10:13).

Above all
powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all
kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a
rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Above all
powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all
kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a
rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a
rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Like a
rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
