How do we know the atonement through Christ's blood is true?

Answered in 1 source

The atonement through Christ's blood is affirmed in the New Testament, particularly in Hebrews 9:22, which states that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin.

The doctrine of atonement through the blood of Christ is a fundamental aspect of Christian faith, affirmed throughout the New Testament. Hebrews 9:22 underscores this truth by clarifying that 'almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without the shedding of blood is no remission.' This echoes the Old Testament sacrificial system where blood was required for atonement, establishing a foundational principle that God ordained blood as the acceptable means for expiating sin. Moreover, Jesus Himself links His sacrificial death to this theme during the Last Supper, claiming, 'This is my blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins' (Matthew 26:28), reinforcing the significance of His blood for the salvation of those whom He came to redeem.
