When did trusting in the blood of Jesus become a ritual of verbally applying it to everything we touch?

For generations, Christians have pleaded the blood over their homes, children, vehicles, businesses, and even church buildings. We anoint doorposts, windows, and furniture with oil, believing these practices invite protection, favor, and spiritual authority.

But where did Jesus instruct us to do any of this?

In this provocative episode of The Myrrhologist Podcast, Marissa Saint Luc examines the origins of familiar Christian practices and asks a question that might make the modern church uncomfortable:

Have we confused the finished work of Jesus Christ with religious rituals that appeal to our senses?

Through Scripture, personal testimony, and an examination of biblical atonement, we explore the difference between trusting in Christ's blood and treating it like a spiritual formula.

From anointing oil and supernatural favor to the subtle ways religious traditions begin to resemble the very practices Scripture warns against, this episode challenges believers to reconsider what they've inherited.

The blood of Jesus is not an incantation. His sacrifice is not something we must repeatedly activate.

And perhaps the greatest deception is convincing believers they must keep performing what Jesus already finished.

Stay in the Word. Keep your eyes on Jesus. And remember, inherited teaching isn't necessarily biblical teaching.
