To sustain your physical life, you need certain basic items such as
water, oxygen, food, clothing, and shelter. In addition, your body
requires a certain amount of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Without
all these, your physical life would die, or at least suffer greatly.
It is the same with your spiritual life. Your spiritual life, just like your physical life, requires certain basic elements. These are essential. Without them, you will find it difficult to survive as a Christian in a world that does not know Christ. One of these basic elements is the blood of Christ.

Without them, you will find it difficult to survive as a Christian in a world that does not know Christ. One of these basic elements is the blood of Christ.
Why do you need the blood of Christ? Because, essentially, fallen man
has three basic problems. Even as a Christian, you still carry around
the fallen human life. So day after day, you may still be plagued with
these three problems.
These three problems involve three parties: God, yourself, and Satan. Toward God, you often sense separation. Within yourself, you often sense guilt. And from Satan, you often sense accusation. These three--separation from God, feelings of guilt, and accusation from Satan--can be three big problems in your Christian life. How can these be overcome? Only by the blood of Christ.
