My Testimony Is His Blood

Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this message, Pastor Brad Jones explores the story of Rahab from Joshua 2 and Hebrews 11, illustrating how her faith and the scarlet cord tied in her window serve as a picture of salvation through Jesus Christ. Just as Rahab recognized her inability to save herself and pleaded for mercy, believers are rescued from coming judgment not through personal achievements or empty ways of living, but through the precious blood of Christ. As living monuments of God's grace, our transformed lives serve as a powerful witness pointing everyone around us to what Jesus has done.

Themes

Salvation by Grace through FaithThe Protective Power of Christ's BloodLeaving Empty Ways of LivingPersonal Witness and TestimonyGod's Mercy for the Unlikely

Key Points

1.
True faith is defined not by boasting in personal accomplishments, but by testifying to what God has accomplished through Jesus Christ.
2.
God deliberately placed Rahab the prostitute in the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11 to display that no person or family is ever too far gone for His grace.
3.
Recognizing our complete inability to save ourselves drives us to turn away from worthless earthly idols and cry out for God's mercy.
4.
The scarlet cord lowered from Rahab's window serves as an Old Testament picture of the protective blood of Jesus Christ that spares believers from coming judgment.
5.
Faith requires taking Jesus at His word, trusting His finished work on the cross, and actively living out our belief each day.
6.
A genuine life of faith creates a ripple effect that can extend God's covering and salvation across an entire family.
7.
Like Rahab living among the Israelites, transformed believers are visible monuments of grace positioned in the world to tell others what Christ has done.

Sermon Moments

“As Christians, you and I are called to spend our lives not telling people about our accomplishments, but telling people about God's accomplishments in our lives through Jesus Christ.”

“If God would write her into the story, then why are you counting yourself out? Why are you counting your family out? No one is too far gone, and God writes the least likely into His story.”

“She realized that she in her own ability had no capacity or ability to save herself... What does she do? She cries out for mercy. She begs for mercy.”

“Make sure it's red. Make sure it matches the color of the blood that was on the doorpost of the people of God. The people of God are going to skip the house that has the red cord.”

“His last words on the cross were, 'It is finished.' The price for your sins and my sins has been paid. What's necessary to be accomplished for your salvation has been accomplished.”

“You and I are put right here where we're at as a picture of God's grace for the world around us... living among the people with a story to tell.”

“People are looking at your life... 'It wasn't a red rope, but it was red blood and his name is Jesus and my testimony is his blood.'”

This Week

Stop striving in self-reliance and place your total trust in the finished work of Jesus on the cross.

Share your personal testimony of God's grace with someone who does not yet know Christ this week.

Pray faithfully for family members who are far from God, trusting that your active faith can extend God's spiritual covering across your household.

Identify and turn away from any "empty ways of life" or earthly idols you have been relying on for security instead of God.

Take Jesus at His word daily, living out active obedience to His promises rather than relying on feelings or circumstances.

Meditate on 1 Peter 1:18–19 to ground your identity in being bought with the precious blood of Jesus rather than human accomplishments.

Encourage someone struggling with guilt or shame by reminding them that no person is ever too far gone for God's redeeming mercy.

Remember This

Our lives are defined not by what we have accomplished, but by testifying to what Jesus Christ accomplished for us through His precious blood.

A Challenge for You

It's time for us to lower the rope so that people see that we've been saved. It's time for us to live a life that distinguishes us from the empty way of life and say we've been redeemed by the precious blood of the lamb.

Believers are ransomed not through silver, gold, or human achievements, but through the precious, unblemished blood of Jesus Christ.

“You were redeemed not with perishable things such as silver or gold... but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”
