Christ's blood is described as precious because it was shed for the redemption of sinners and fulfills God’s justice.
The blood of Christ is considered precious because it is the actual means by which God reconciles His people to Himself. In 1 Peter 1:18-19, we learn that we were redeemed not with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot. This signifies that His sacrifice was not only costly but also divinely appointed to satisfy the justice of God against sin. Unlike the blood of bulls and goats, which could only cover sin temporarily, Christ's blood provides a permanent solution to the problem of sin. It represents God's holiness, justice, and love, culminating in the ultimate sacrifice that enables believers to be accepted by God.
