How do we know Christ's blood is applied to us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's blood is applied to believers through the Holy Spirit, bringing about a transformative experience that instills faith and assurance.

The application of Christ's blood is a deeply spiritual experience, emphasized in the sermon as being more than just intellectual agreement. In 2 Corinthians 4:7, Paul speaks of possessing this treasure in earthen vessels, illustrating that believers, though flawed, carry the glory of God's grace. The transformative work of the Holy Spirit is key; as He takes the blood of Christ and applies it to the hearts of the elect, a radical change begins within. This results in a brokenness over sin and a newfound holiness that radically influences a believer's life, aligning with the truth that faith is not merely a mental exercise but an experiential encounter with the living Christ.
