Believer, the Lord Jesus has sanctified you through His own blood, and He desires that you experience through that blood the full power of this sanctification. Endeavor to gain a clear impression of what has taken place in you through the sprinkling of that blood. God desires to have you entirely for Himself. No one and nothing has any longer the least right over you, nor have you any right over yourself. God has separated you into Himself. He has set His mark upon you. That mark is the most wonderful thing found on earth or in heaven—it is the blood of Jesus. The blood in which the life of the eternal Son of God is; the blood that on the throne of grace is ever before God’s face; the blood that assures you of full redemption from the power of sin. That blood is sprinkled on you as a sign that you belong to God.
Believer, let every thought about the blood awaken in you the glorious confession, “By His own blood, the Lord Jesus has sanctified me; He has taken complete possession of me for God, and I belong entirely to God.” ~Andrew Murray, “The Blood of Christ, p. 68
