by what mechanism does jesus' blood wash away sin?

Answer 1

HIS sinless life. If HE committed 1 sin, then HE was no different then the rest of us. That was the whole point.

Answer 2

When a person sins God demands a death. God will not allow sin into heaven. So In the Old Testament he dememnedethat the only way for person to be forgiven something had to die in that persons place. That was a lamb, spotless without any blemish.
So many Jews would daily bring their sacrifices to the temple for their sins.
The problem with that was, not only was there many lamb slaughtered but also people kept on sinning and they also lived with guilt. Each time you sinned you needed to sacrifice.
You see people didn't learn by their mistakes.
So God sent his own Son Jesus. Jesus was to be the pewrfect sacrifice. He lived a perfect life (spotkless without any blemish.) He willingly allowed himself to be crucified for the sins of the world. 'He who was without sin, became sin.' So His blood was shed for the forgiveness of sins. This meant that whoever confesses his sin will be forgiven. No more guilt, no condemnation. Can you imagine what that would be like?
When Jesus shed his blood he was actually shedding His blood for you. How cool and wonderful is that. Yes its gory, but it had to be. The most important thing is though, He did it because He longs that you would know him and be forgiven, and have everlasting life.

Answer 3

OK by mechanism do you mean a process?
In Genesis God told us that the only price for sin was blood. ( Hence the animal skins that Adam ( the first man) and Eve were clothed in) God cannot and will not look upon sin, so by slaughtering animals there is a blood sacrifice and being clothed in the skin ( which contained the blood) God could once again look upon Adam his creation. Then we have the story of Abraham who was asked to sacrifice his son, when God saw his willingness to be obedient he instead sent Abraham a Goat.
Jesus was the perfect sinless Lamb of God who's sacrifice on Calvary's Cross provides remission of our sins. IN John 1:29 it states " Behold the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world" So it doesnt matter how his blood washes away sin, but simply that it does. Sin is what separates us from God and only through Jesus Christ who shed his blood for us can we be reconciled. I hope I have been of help and please if you have not already ask Jesus into your heart , study the word of God and ask him for understanding.

Answer 4

not sure what you are asking for with 'mechanism', but

Now: Because Jesus poured out his blood for us, then we have the opportunity to go to God in prayer, through his son, and ask for forgiveness of the sins we commit. Of course, we have to stop doing the wrong, first, and then pray for forgiveness.

Future: At God's appointed time, after the wicked have been removed from the earth (Psalm 37:9-11 and other scriptures), then the full benefit of that sacrifice will be given to mankind - no more sickness, death, old age, etc. (too many scriptures to list here)

Answer 5

Adam and Eve brought sin into mankind and death through sin (ROMANS 5:12)
Jesus sacrifice, his shed blood buys back for us what Adam lost, which was everlasting life. If we exercise faith in his sacrifice then we can have what Adam lost, we can have everlasting life. This is not just a blind faith, not just a belief in Jesus, but living our whole lives in harmony with what God wants. The only way we can find out what he wants, what his purpose is - is through examining the Scriptures (JOHN 17:3)

Answer 6

Hebrews 9:22 explains God's viewpoint.
The blood poured out in animal sacrifices (as carried out by the Israelites) was a TEMPORARY MEASURE.
It had to be repeated.
Jesus blood takes care of matters once for all time.
Hebrews 7:27
It basically depends on what God accepts.

Answer 7

By the legal precedent of like for like and by the symbolic representation of the sin and sickness offering, and by the legal precedent of blood for life. All established in the Old Testament.

Answer 8

I think you are taking the concept a little to literally.

This is on an intellectual plane rather than a biological one.

If I could further explain that an intellectual plane is not the product of McDonnel-Douglas or Airbus but, oh I give up
life is too short

Answer 9

It is a good question and one that doesn't have a physical answer.
The atonement, Christ's sacrifice for all of God's children, is a spiritual cleansing, not a physical one. The shedding of His blood is a symbolic payment for all of our sins. In the Old Testament, from Adam down to the time of Christ, God gave a commandment to sacrifice animals as a covenant of obedience to and a symbolic remembrance of the atonement to come. This sacrifice was a giving of themselves in remembrance of their duty to God.
In the Mosaic Law, there were various sacrifices required for different purposes. Each one had a cleansing effect or remembrance to their relationship with God.
In a real, every day sense, we demand some payment for wrongs committed in society. The same principle applies to spiritual matters. For every sin commited, there has to be a payment made, or atonement, to bring us back in harmony with God. We are incapable of making that payment for ourselves so God had his people sacrifice an animal to remind them of the need for a vicarious sacrifice to make up for their spiritual deficit. Christ was that great and eternal atonement, paying the price of all of our sins, making up the great spiritual indebtedness that we accumulate in our lives.
Thus, when we accept Christ in our lives, as demonstrated by our repentance and obedience to His teachings and commandments, His atonement, or sacrifice, takes care of our spiritual indebtedness, or cleanses away our sin, so that we can return to our Father's presence.
No unclean thing may enter His presence, thus we need that cleansing atonement or eternal sacrifice to pay our spiritual debt.

Answer 10

By the simple act of baptism. You are buried as was Christ in His death and then raised to walk a new life. The water then cleans you. In John you may read when Jesus was struck in the side by the soldier, blood and water came out, here blood and water were together.

Answer 11

God's wrath against sin i satisfied for those who glorify God, leaning on the work of Jesus on the cross. This is because of the following:

A trade occurs Our sin for Jesus righteous act.

The penalty for sin is paid by Jesus death and the believer is credited with the righteous act of Jesus and God is more pleased with Jesus righteous act on the cross than angry with sin of those who look to Jesus

A believer is not just forgiven, but the believer is clothed in the righteousness of Christ

and then... since God's wrath is satified.. all things will work together for GOOD to those who love God who are called according to His purpose

God riased Jesus from the dead to prove that though Jesus there is redemption and the ultimate answers to questions of life and death

Just as Jesus is raised, the believer heart is changed and there is fruit of salvation in their life, good works.
