Brother Frank discusses the importance of the blood of Jesus Christ for atonement and the infilling of the Holy Spirit as a sign of God's life returning to believers, emphasizing obedience and selflessness as characteristics of a true Christian.
Brother Frank's sermon focuses on the significance of the blood of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for believers. He references the Old Testament, particularly 3. Mose 17, where the blood was designated for the altar to atone for sins, and connects it to Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice. He emphasizes that while the blood of sacrificial animals in the Old Testament was a precursor, it is the divine blood of Jesus that brings true atonement and allows the life of the Spirit to return to believers. He references Hebr 9, Mt 26, and 2. Mose 12 to support his points about the new covenant established through Christ's blood. Brother Frank stresses that being under the blood means identifying with the sacrificial lamb, Jesus Christ, and exhibiting a lamb-like nature of obedience and selflessness. He quotes brother Branham, highlighting that true Christianity must be evident in public life and that the Holy Spirit is the sign that God requires in this time. He warns against a general faith that lacks specific belief in God's promises for this era and encourages self-examination to ensure that the life of Jesus Christ is truly within, sealed by the Holy Spirit. He concludes by urging a renewed focus on Golgatha and a deeper understanding of the complete justification through faith in Jesus Christ.
Brother Frank discusses the significance of the blood of Christ and its role in redemption, emphasizing the necessity of faith and the Holy Spirit in the believer's life.
