The blood of Jesus versus the blood of bulls and goats
Let us do a small comparison between what the blood of Jesus did as compared to the blood of bulls and goats under the law.
In the atonement made by the high-priest with the blood of bulls and goats, sins were covered. The sins still did exist, but they were covered such that God could act towards the nation of Israel as though those sins weren't committed even though they still were living in bondage to sin under its dominion. The blood of the animals gave them a standing before God but never set them free from the cycle of sin.
However, the blood of Jesus didn't cover sins it purged the sins completely. It blotted them out.
Let me give an example to buttress this point.
Take a person whose white shirt is stained and when an examiner comes by the individual covers the stain with a white sheet of paper such that the stain is not made visible and so the observer acts as though there was no stain even though the person wearing the stained shirt still carries the shame and feels dirty.
This is why God said that when I see the blood, I will passover. It didn't purge the sin but allowed God passover.
The second scenario is that the stain is purged out completely by some white bleaching product so the shirt now appears without any trace of the stain so the individual feels clean and can boldly show his shirt to the observer.
The blood of Jesus doesn't just give the sinner a standing before God. It makes a sinner the righteousness of God in Christ having purged the sins.
It is much more than righteousness imputed it is righteousness imparted.
This truth must be appropriated through the prayer of faith, which allows the Holy Spirit to infuse into us that which is legally true in Christ.
Herein lies the difference between "acceptance" and actual "receiving." We accept truth when it is taught us, and this can be referred to as mental assent. However, we have received truth when it becomes an integral part of our daily walk.

1. Without King David and the history of his life with his mistakes and triumphs the Bible will not have been a complete expression of the possibilities of God in human flesh. No other man showed us that no matter your mistake and depth of sin you can get back on your feet and win.
2. Through David we know today this, no matter how bad it appears, there is a secret place, where sponteanous worship is offered in prophetic songs unto God, songs from your revelation of him. In your prayer for his mercy, he will reach you and set you upon a rock and deliver you.
