What does the Bible say about the covenant of blood?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals the covenant of blood as an eternal agreement between God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, meant to ensure the salvation of the elect.

The covenant of blood is foundational in Scripture, referring to an eternal agreement established by God before the foundation of the world. This agreement involved the Father giving the Son a chosen people, for whom the Son would pay the ransom with His own blood. As outlined in Hebrews 9:22, 'without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins,' underlining the necessity of blood in this divine covenant to secure redemption. The Old Testament depicted this through sacrificial laws, but the ultimate fulfillment is found in the sacrifice of Christ, the 'Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.' Thus, the covenant of blood stands as both a promise and assurance of salvation for those chosen by God.
