Christ's redemption is effective because it is sealed by His blood, ensuring eternal salvation without further need for sacrifice.
The effectiveness of Christ's redemption is affirmed by the assertion that it is based on His own blood, making it eternal and unrepeatable. As stated in Hebrews, He has obtained eternal redemption for us, which means that once redeemed, we will never be sold again or face spiritual poverty. This doctrine upholds that our standing before God is permanent; we are forever united with Christ, secure in our salvation. The assurance comes from knowing that not a single one of His redeemed people will perish, as highlighted in John 6:39, and reflects God's sovereignty in the redemptive process. Thus, Christ’s blood is depicted as the only sacrifice that fully satisfies God's holiness and guarantees our acceptance and forgiveness.
