Deep dives

Understanding the Application of Jesus's Blood

The concept of applying the blood of Jesus to one's life is explored, emphasizing that this terminology relates specifically to salvation. This practice is deemed unbiblical as salvation cannot be imparted to others through ritualistic declarations. The speaker argues that the idea mirrors magical thinking, suggesting that simply stating 'I apply the blood of Jesus' does not align with biblical faith. The essence of salvation lies in individual trust in Christ rather than a physical application of His blood.
