(Genesis 3:15 & 21; Gen22:1-18; Matt26:28) ii.  It is by the Blood that God made a promise that in the Day of Reckoning, He would pass over/over-shadow us, so the destroyer could not touch us (Exodus12:1-30; Luke22:14-20) iii.  It is by the Blood that God, through a New Covenant, pours forth Mercy upon us instead of judgement.

(Hebrews9:22) v.  It is by the Blood that we live, move and have our being in His Resurrection Life - because the life of a person is in the blood (Lev17:11; Deut 12:23)....This me...
