What does the Bible say about the blood of atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the blood makes atonement for the soul, as seen in Leviticus 17:11.

The concept of blood as a means of atonement is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Leviticus. Leviticus 17:11 states, 'For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls.' This highlights the significance of blood in the sacrificial system, where the loss of life represented by the shedding of blood was necessary for the reconciliation of sinners before a holy God. The blood signified not only the life of the animal but served as a representation of the ultimate sacrifice that would come through Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, whose blood was essential for the atonement of sin.
