What does the Bible say about blood atonement?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that blood atonement is necessary for the remission of sins, as clearly demonstrated in Leviticus 17:11.

The doctrine of blood atonement is fundamental to the gospel, rooted in the requirement that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins (Leviticus 17:11). Every sacrifice in the Old Testament pointed to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who shed His blood to atone for sin. This doctrine underscores the seriousness of sin and God's justice in addressing it through the violent death of Christ. The necessity of blood atonement is confirmed throughout Scripture, emphasizing that only through Jesus’ blood are we redeemed and forgiven.
