What does the Bible say about the blood of the Lamb?

Answered in 2 sources

The blood of the Lamb signifies the substitute for our sins, fulfilling God's justice and providing safety for believers.

The blood of the Lamb is central to the Christian understanding of atonement and redemption. In Exodus, the Israelites marked their doorposts with the blood of a lamb, which represented the substitutionary sacrifice that protected them from the judgment of God. As Scott Richardson expounds, this act of faith in the blood signifies that death had already occurred for the innocent substitute, allowing God's judgment to pass over them. This foreshadows Christ, our ultimate Lamb, whose blood was shed for the sins of the world, satisfying divine justice and securing the salvation of all who believe. The value placed on the blood by God ensures that justice is satisfied, leading to the acquittal of every believing sinner.
