Summary:

Sin makes the blood of Jesus precious because only the blood of Jesus has the power to cleanse us of our sins. When we accept Jesus into our
hearts, God looks at us through the blood Jesus shed. We are brought
into right standing with Him, which is why we need not carry guilt and
condemnation in our hearts.

d. Jesus offered Himself as a ransom—once and for all (Hebrews 7:25-27).

e. As a result, our consciences have been purged (Hebrews 9:11-14).

3. The blood of Jesus has pacifying power.

a. It brings peace to irritating situations (Colossians 1:20, AMP).
