From a Christian perspective, when we are washed in the blood, it means we accept the terms of the legal, binding, covenantal agreement God established through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:25 states, “God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished.”
We’re a “new creation” through this washing, this cleansing, 2 Corinthians 5:17tells us. Through the blood of Christ and our acceptance of Jesus as our savior, God reconciled the world to Himself. Jesus, “Word become flesh” (John 1:14) was perfect—entirely without sin. His bloodshed on the cross became the full and complete payment, once and for all time, for the sins of all humanity. Just like in the Old Testament days, God required the regular sacrifice of a perfect, flawless animal to pay the price of the people’s sins, God recognizes the sacrifice of Jesus. Only this time, as we are reminded in Hebrews 10:10, “We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
So while it sounds a bit gory and messy to be washed in the blood, in the eyes of the Lord, it is perfect. The lifeblood of Christ is beautiful, perfect, and holy. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, and His great and willing love for us all, we now have the opportunity for eternal life in heaven. When we believe, our sins are forgiven. We are clean, fresh, new, and righteous in Him and Him alone. May we all be “washed in the blood” of Jesus.
