We know we are under the blood of Christ when we recognize our complete dependence on Him for salvation and renounce any confidence in our own righteousness.
To be under the blood of Christ means that a sinner has been entirely covered by His sacrifice. This involves a profound acknowledgment of one's own sinfulness and a complete renunciation of any confidence in personal righteousness. Philippians 3:8-9 highlights this by illustrating the desire to be found in Christ, not having one's own righteousness but that which is through faith in Him. True believers will exhibit a desire to win Christ, showing evidence of transformation, repentance, and reliance solely on His grace for salvation. This signifies that they see Christ as their sole hope, and they understand that without Him, there is no salvation.
