How do we know that salvation is only through the blood of Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture explicitly states that only the blood of Christ can cleanse us from sin, as the blood of animals cannot atone for sin.
The Bible makes it clear that it is not possible for sins to be taken away by the blood of bulls and goats (Hebrews 10:4). The sacrificial system outlined in the Old Testament pointed to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. As noted in 1 Peter 1:18-19, we are redeemed not with corruptible things but with the precious blood of Christ, who was without blemish. This emphasizes the necessity of Christ’s sacrifice; it is through His blood that we are justified and reconciled to God (Romans 5:9). Only through faith in His blood can one attain true cleansing from sin, fulfilling what God’s justice demands.
