What does the Bible say about the shedding of blood?

Answered in 2 sources

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

The shedding of blood is a central theme in Scripture, particularly in the context of atonement and redemption. Hebrews 9:22 states, 'Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.' This emphasizes the necessity of blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. In the Old Testament, the blood of animals was shed as a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, whose blood was poured out for the redemption of many. Thus, blood signifies not only atonement but also deliverance from the power of sin and access to God's presence.
