The Word of God teaches that the blood of Jesus Christ made satisfaction for sins, and that in His death, the penalty for our sins has been paid. The blood atonement is described in the Scriptures by the use of a number of phrases and figures of speech. God's wrath is heavy upon us because of our sins. It is not that God storms around in the heavens like a man who has lost his temper, but He has a fixed attitude of displeasure with sin. Sin offends God, and God is displeased - but Jesus died to turn away the displeasure of God.
Sin lets a crimson stain upon our lives.
Martin Luther once thought he saw Satan coming toward him with a huge book under his arm. The blood of Jesus cleanses from sin. When the death-angel came to a home where the doorpost was sprinkled with blood, he passed over that home and spared the oldest son. Remember that the Cross which Jesus bore, really belonged to a criminal named Barabbas. He was absolved of the charges against him.
