WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE BLOOD? We who are washed in the blood of Jesus won’t be thinking about our works; we’ll be thinking about what the blood has done for us. How good we have been to others, we won’t mention. At the judgment of rewards the Lord will acknowledge our works. When God rises up in your life, all that counts with Him is what you have done with the blood of Jesus. He looks for the pure, the clean and holy, people who are like His Son. You are a part of Him when you have His blood in your soul, when you are bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh. God the Father identifies with you immediately, and He claims you as His child. God had a long talk with Job. Read all the things God said to him, and Job just listened: Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes (Job 42:1-6). Job hated himself for thinking to bring his good works to the Lord. Job had told his tormenters and so-called friends what he was going to say to God, but after God spoke to him, he hated his ways. He realized he never should have thought his works would make him acceptable, and he repented in dust and ashes.
