By this blood we live, and have peace with God. It is the price of our redemption, and our shield in battle. By it we are pardoned, justified, sanctified, and consecrated to the Lord’s service. It is the blood of the everlasting covenant, the blood of sprinkling, and it is precious blood. It was shed for sinners; by it we are delivered from the pit wherein is no water; we are brought nigh to God by it; it speaketh better things than the blood of Abel; with it, at the Lord’s Supper, we have communion; and by it we enter into the holiest of all. By faith it purifies the heart, and saves the soul. Wherefore, my dear friends, make daily use of the blood of Jesus for life and liberty; for rest and victory.
Edward Mannering — Edward Mannering, Christian Consistency: or, The Connexion between Experimental and Practical Religion, Designed for Young Christians (Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1839), ch. VIII, “Rules to Be Observed for the Promotion of Soul Prosperity,” p. 125
