How do we know the necessity of blood sacrifices in the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible clearly states that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.
The necessity of blood sacrifices in the Bible is rooted in the law of God, which reveals that life is in the blood, and the shedding of blood is required for atonement. This principle is established in Leviticus 17:11, where God indicates that He has given the blood upon the altar to make atonement for the souls of His people. In the New Testament, this is fulfilled in the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood satisfies God's justice and provides redemption for His people. Therefore, the blood not only signifies death but is the means through which divine justice is satisfied, enabling sinners to approach God.
