How do we know that the shedding of blood is necessary for forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

The necessity of blood for forgiveness is rooted in God's justice and the requirement for atonement.

According to Hebrews 9:16-17, a testament is enforced only after the death of the testator. This principle underlines the necessity of Christ's death for the establishment of the New Covenant. God's holiness and righteousness cannot overlook sin; therefore, blood is required for atonement. The Old Testament sacrifices foreshadow the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, whose blood secures the forgiveness of sin for those who believe. Without this shedding of blood, God's justice would be compromised, underscoring the gravity of sin.
