The next gift that God the Father has given us is the precious blood of Jesus. Romann 5:9, "Much more then, having been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."It is the blood of Jesus that justifies us. It declares us not guilty, and also makes us righteous. It gives us right standing with the Father.Because of the blood of Jesus, the powers of darkness have no more hold on us.Look at colossians 1:13-14,"He (The Father) has delivered us from the powers of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of HIs love, in whom we have redempton through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." You see the Blood of Jesus has given us redemption, and the forgiveness of sins.It has reconciiled us to the Father. Ephesians 2:13-14,"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one,and has broken down the middle wall of division between us." Jesus is our peace with the Father.He has broken down the wall of sin that separates us from the Father. Jesus bled from His head, His hands, His feet, and His side. I believe that all of this has great meaning. To a person of faith, the name of Jesus, and the blood of Jesus are great and powerful spiritual gifts.
