The greatest display of love is for a man to die for another man, especially when the one who dies is being despised and hated by the ones he lays his life down for.
This love was expressed by the sufferings and death of Christ on the cross. Jesus paid a huge sacrifice by shedding his blood for the sins of the whole world so as to bring about a reconciliation with the Father of glory!
The believer in Christ is one whose spirit has been washed, reborn, recreated and made perfect by the blood of Christ. Christ is the consecration of a believer. The Spirit of Christ has never indwelt those under the old covenant, and they couldn't access God because of their unrenewed mind. They could only receive atonement by the blood sacrifice of animals.
We under the new covenant predicated upon the blood of Christ which was offered through the eternal Spirit unto God have a spirit which can access the mind of God. We have been sanctified, and made perfect in holiness as Christ. As He is, so are we
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
This above text is one of the greatest truth in the New testament. The believer in Christ has been Justified, declared righteous by the sacrifice of Christ. This Justification is what brings us to the Father. We now have Peace with God through Christ. We have the full boldness to access God's throne with no sense of guilt, condemnation or inferiority. When we stand in God's presence, God doesn't see sin or unrighteous, but rather sees us as He sees Christ. Christ in us is our Justification.
