This was so that He would PURCHASE us with His blood.

It does not matter what situation you have been condemned to, the blood will redeem you.

It does not matter what sins you committed when living in ignorance, the blood has already justified you.
Rom 8:1 says there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. It is because of blood that we are justified, and renewed as sinless.
According to Micah 7;19, He tosses our sins into the depths of the sea.
9. The Peace Making Blood
According to Col 1:20, the Father reconciled all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of Jesus.
The blood of Jesus is peace making blood. One of the names that Jesus would be known by, as foretold by Isaiah, is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)
Isaiah 48:22 says that there is no peace for the wicked. Any one involved in wickedness, has clearly not had an encounter with the blood.

In Gal 3:14 Jesus became a curse for us, so that we can be blessed.
In 2 Cor 5:21, He became a sin although sinless so that we may become the righteousness of God.
