Distinguishing conviction from condemnationUsing the example of a parent, the speaker explains that God's Spirit convicts us to correct our ways rather than condemning us as useless.
Understanding the importance of the bloodThe blood of Jesus is a vital part of the New Covenant, as evidenced by Jesus' first use of the term during the Last Supper.Matthew 26:28
The blood in heavenly worshipIn the Book of Revelation, heaven is depicted as a place where believers sing about the blood that purchased them and where Jesus returns in glory.
The cost of the New CovenantWhile the Old Covenant used blood symbolically, the New Covenant is established through the actual shedding of Jesus' blood to atone for sin and maintain fellowship with God.Hebrews 9:19–20
Desiring unbroken fellowship with the FatherTo walk like Jesus means having an attitude where we never want our fellowship with God to be broken by even a moment of sin.
The agony of Jesus' separation from the FatherJesus endured the intense suffering of Gethsemane and the cross because He dreaded the loss of fellowship with His Father for even a second.
The blood of Christ brings peace and reconciliationThrough His blood, the righteous anger of God against sin is satisfied, bringing us near to Him and making us at peace.Colossians 1:20Ephesians 2:3–13
The importance of honest confessionAvoid using 'if' when apologizing for hurts; instead, take responsibility for your wrongs so that you may be cleansed and maintain fellowship with God.
Being justified by His bloodThrough the blood of Jesus, we are justified, meaning we are treated as if we had never sinned and are clothed in His righteousness.Romans 5:9
Living free from condemnationBecause Jesus' blood blots out our past rebellions, we no longer need to live under the weight of guilt or the devil's accusations.
