Interestingly enough, we are not saved by His death. We are reconciled to the Father by His death, but saved by His life!
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Thats apple for oranges, for His Life is the fruit of the success of His Death ! I went into detail in posts 34,35 explaining that very thing. Read those posts and rehearse with me the points I made thanks !

Heb 9:14
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Another verse that teaches that the Blood of Christ or the Death of Christ, both the same, alone does save those He died for. For here the inspired writer makes a certain assertion regarding the Blood of Christ in lieu of that of the blood of animals, that it [Christ's Blood it's Meritorious Effects] purges, purifies, cleanses our conscience from dead works [ false dead religion] to [unto] serve[worship] the Living God !
The word serve is the same word for worship here Phil 3:3
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Thats experimental Salvation ! To end up serving, worshiping the True God as a result of the Blood of Christ ! Now to deny this Truth is nothing short of Antichrist, being against the saving efficacy and accomplishment of Christ's Saving Death or Blood !
Some may argue, well does not one need Faith to serve God ? Heb 11:6, and my reply to that would be absolutely Yes !, for no one can serve God without a living faith, however that living Faith is the product of the Blood of Christ. Since the purification or the purging of the conscience from dead works to serve the Living God is attributed to THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. We do not deny Faith its proper place in conversion, but we do emphasize its [Faith] meritorious cause, the Blood of Christ !
The word purge in Heb 9:14 is the greek word katharizō and it does mean to purify, and is used that way here Acts 15:9
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
So Faith that God purifies the heart with or conscience is the effect of the Blood of Christ or His Death !
This is a strong indictment against false teachers who teach that Christ's Death in and of itself does not save anyone or that its worthless !
