How do we know that Jesus' blood has saving power?

Answered in 1 source

The resurrection of Jesus affirms the saving power of His blood (Romans 6:9).

The saving power of Jesus' blood is confirmed by His resurrection, which proves that His sacrifice was accepted by God and is fully effective for our redemption. Romans 6:9 states, 'Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.' This resurrection not only assures believers of Christ’s victory over sin and death but also validates the infinite value of His atoning blood.

Furthermore, the efficacy of Jesus’ blood is rooted in His divine nature and perfect sacrifice. Unlike animal sacrifices of the Old Testament, which were temporary and needed repeated offerings, Christ’s blood was once and for all sufficient to remove transgressions. Thus, the believer can confidently approach God, knowing that the blood of Jesus has completely satisfied divine justice, allowing for full and free forgiveness. Engaging with the implications of this truth empowers believers to live in assurance and gratitude for the grace they have received.
