You can be sure that God has made certain that the blood of Jesus has enough authority and power to meet all mankind's needs. The blood is God's answer to everything that satan throws at us. There is nothing satan, sin or sickness can bring that the blood has not already made provision for. Rather, the blood of Jesus has already taken care of it. God does not go running after Satan trying to sort out the mess he (satan) creates. God is omniscient (all knowing) and nothing takes Him unaware nor is He unprepared for any event.

This truth, once understood, should have great implications for our faith and victorious living over satan, sin and sickness.įirstly Peter makes it clear (in verses 18 and 19 above) that we are 'redeemed from the empty way of life by the blood of Christ' and that this was accomplished 'before the creation of the world' In other words, the fall of mankind did not destroy God's purpose in creating mankind. Not even satan knew about the shed blood until then. The blood of Jesus was shed for us before the creation of the world, but was only revealed to us when Jesus was crucified on the cross, died and rose again. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

Peter repeats this truth in even more detail when he wrote about the precious blood of Christ.ġ Peter 1:18-20 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. Yet the scriptures reveals in Revelations 13:8 that 'the Lamb was slain from the creation of the world' Jesus mission became clear to mankind only after He had been crucified on the cross. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who died for the sins of the world (John 1:29). Revelation 13:8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast - all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
