Let's say he exist (sorry athiests), and you actually met him/her/it....What would your first sensible/legible words be ?
....what will my heart feel, will I stand in your presence, or to my knees will I fall? Will I shout halelelua! or will I be able to speak at all, I can only imagine.....

You want to see God vomit, or something?

jesus's blood is not, IMO, red stuff loaded with oxygen that helps us live...
rather, it's pure sinlessness...
being washed in the blood of Christ means to say that we have been cleansed of our sins

If you think being "clothed in the blood of Jesus" is gross,
I would caution you that to stand before God "clothed" in your history of sins, iniquities, transgressions, and offenses is far nastier.
I simply mean that we can have boldness before an eternal holy and righteous God because of the effective redemptive work of His Son on the cross for our reconciliation.

I also want to meet Jesus and the holy spirit.
Ask once. And then thank Him that it is done. You do not need to beg. You do not need to do anything except acknowledge that you are a helpless and condemned sinner without Him.
Receive Him and call upon Him as "Lord Jesus." Talk to Him, calling Him Lord Jesus.
Be honest with Him, always calling Him "Lord Jesus"
Pour out your heart to Him always addressing Him as "Lord, my Lord Jesus"
This is very effective and the Holy Spirit will come into you and in a short while you will know that something has happened to you and that you are joyfully changing for the better.

I did it to counterbalance the sickening flippant language of some skeptical people who answered.
They simply do not realize that God is Perfection and that they are sinners and transgressors of the law of God.
But, take heart. God has made provision for us in the life, death, resurrection and indwelling of Jesus Christ the Savior.

Does that "very effective" magic formula been tested by someone, or it just comes in the bible?
And be aware of the holy spirit... he's been known to fancy certain virgin wifes...
