Jesus shed HIS own blood to pay for our sins. We didn't shed our blood for our sins. Jesus shed HIS blood.
Hebrews 7 … For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by HIM that said unto HIM, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man (Jesus), because HE continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore HE (Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them.
We can't pay for our sins by our own goodness or our works. But we can be cleansed by believing in that which Jesus did to pay for our sins.
In the following hymn, Beneath the cross of Jesus, we sing of a dark and terrible grave that lies beyond Jesus's cross. Most of the world views death as such. But when we understand HIS grave and resurrection stands between us and our own death, then we no longer have to fear our death for it is paid by Jesus.
Therefore the truth of the following applies to us who believe in Him.
I John 1 5 This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.
