The Only Gospel—that Of His Blood

The Only Gospel—that Of His Blood
Be assured that any religion which makes light of the blood is of its father, the devil. No matter how eloquent a man is, if he preaches against the blood he is doing the devil’s work. Do not listen to him. Do not believe him.

If an angel from heaven should preach any other gospel, I would not believe it. “Christ’s blood shed for the pardon of our sins,”—that is the gospel that Paul preached, and Peter preached, and that God has always honored in the salvation of men’s souls.—MOODY
