EIGN, and He will ere long cast out the prince of darkness, and sway His sceptre from end to end of this earth. A little longer, and He will personally return and set up His millennial kingdom and reign over this earth. He has redeemed the earth by His blood, and He will have all He has redeemed. ONENESS IN CHRIST. Has the Blood touched you? The blood of Christ makes us one, brings us into the family of God, and enables us to cry, "Abba, Father." At the time of the American war, during the days of slavery in America, when there was much political strife and strong prejudice against the black men, especially by Irishmen, I heard a preacher say, that when he came to the cross for salvation he seemed to find a poor negro on one side and an Irishman on the other side, and the blood came trickling down upon them and made them one. There may be strife in the world, but those whom Christ has redeemed He has made one family. We are blood relatives. When I go before an audience, there is hardly a person I have seen before; but as I begin to talk about the King their eyes light up, and I see they are kinsmen, they are blood relatives, and in a short time I become attached to them. A man may go into a town a perfect stranger, but as soon as he finds out those who love God, they will be one. I wish Christians had more of this oneness.

If washed in the blood, we are blood relatives. I believe GOD WILL JUDGE THE WORLD BY THE BLOOD. "What have you done with that blood?" will be the great question in that day. If we make light of it, and send back an insulting message, saying we don't stand in need of it, we shall stand speechless before God's tribunal. If we make light of that blood, what is going to become of our souls? JUSTIFICATION. The only way a man can be brought within the family of God is by the blood, as it is said in Romans iii. 24, "Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus"; and again in Romans v. 9, "Much more then, being now _justified by His blood_, we shall be saved from wrath through Him." Justified from all things from which we could not be by the law of Moses. When God looks into His ledger, there is nothing found against the man who is washed in the blood.
