What does it mean that Jesus' blood makes us holy?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' blood makes us holy by justifying us and granting us a new nature that is fit for God's presence.

The declaration that Jesus' blood makes us holy reflects the profound transformation that takes place upon belief in Christ. It signifies that through His sacrifice, believers are justified—declared not guilty—and also receive regeneration, becoming new creations with a holy nature, as emphasized in 2 Corinthians 5:17. This dual effect means that we are not merely pardoned; we are also equipped to live in accordance with God's will, able to pursue holiness as we walk in the Spirit. The blood cleanses us from guilt, while the water represents the new life we are called to lead.
