What does the Bible say about the necessity of blood for atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins (Hebrews 9:22).

The necessity of blood for atonement is a central theme in the Scriptures, particularly highlighted in Hebrews 9. The apostle emphasizes that under the Old Covenant, there were ordinances of divine service which required blood for atonement. Hebrews 9:22 states, 'And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.' This indicates that blood signifies life, and it was through the offering of this life that atonement was made for sin. The blood of sacrifices under the Old Covenant was a type, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, whose shed blood is the only means by which true and eternal redemption is attained.
