Hebrews 9:22 King James Version
“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”
Why is “Blood” important in the Bible?
We know that we all have sinned and come short to the glory of God as said in Romans 3:23 and that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). The only payment for sin is taking away the life from the living, and where is life in our body? It’s found in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), so someone has to die in our place and shed blood to pay for our sins. And there are passages in the Bible which tells us that the only way to get save is through the blood.
In the Old Testament, when Adam and Eve sinned, God had to sacrifice an animal to die in their place and to clothe them (Genesis 3:21), so every time that man sin they have to offer a sacrificial lamb in order for God to forgive their sins which only lasts until they sin again after the sacrifice had already been made.
During the time of Moses at the Lord’s Passover, the Israelites painted their 2 side posts and the upper door post with blood so that they will avoid the last plague of Egypt – the death of the firstborn (in Exodus 12). Afterwards when they fled from Egypt they created the Ark of the Covenant where they perform burnt and sin offering to God by sacrificing animals according to the law. It would take 1,500 years from the time of Moses for God to provide the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
God can only accept a perfect and sinless person into Heaven, and no one can live up to God’s standards so God had to sacrifice His only begotten Son for the forgiveness of sins.
Matthew 26:28 King James Version
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins”
2 Corinthians 5:21 King James Version
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
Jesus Christ shed His blood for all sinners so that we may be made righteous in the eyes of God, for those that believed on Jesus Christ, and His blood atonement of our sins.
Romans 3:24-26 King James Version
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and put our faith in His blood for the remission of our sins.
