What does it mean to apply the blood of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Applying the blood of Christ refers to trusting in His sacrifice for personal salvation.

To apply the blood of Christ means to have a personal faith in the efficacy of His atonement for sin. In the context of the Passover, the Israelites applied the blood to their doorposts as a sign of their faith and obedience to God's command, thereby securing their protection from judgment. Similarly, today believers are called to have that blood applied to their hearts through faith. This application is not a mere intellectual acknowledgment but an active faith, where believers receive the benefits of Christ’s sacrifice. It involves the Holy Spirit stirring a deep conviction in the soul which leads to assurance of salvation, allowing one to confidently approach God, knowing the price has been paid for our sins.
