How do we know the necessity of blood in atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.

The necessity of blood for atonement is a central theme in Scripture, as seen in Hebrews 9:22, which states that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. The sin offerings detailed in Leviticus illustrate the gravity of sin and the requirement for a perfect sacrifice. These Old Testament practices foreshadow the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who shed His blood for the sins of His people. His singular offering was made once for all, fulfilling the requirement of the law and ensuring the complete and eternal redemption for those who believe in Him.
