What does the Bible say about the blood of Christ?
Answered in 5 sources
The Bible teaches that the blood of Christ is the sole means of atonement for sin, as stated in Hebrews 9:22, 'without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin.'
The blood of Christ is central to the gospel, symbolizing the complete sacrifice for sin necessary for redemption. Ephesians 2:13 states that 'ye who were sometimes far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.' This indicates a profound transformation from a state of alienation from God to one of reconciliation. God has always demanded blood as the means to approach Him, reflecting His holiness and justice. As it is written, 'without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin' (Hebrews 9:22). The blood of Christ not only cleanses us from sin but also grants us access to God, uniting us with Him in perfect righteousness.
