Why is Christ's blood significant in the Day of Atonement?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's blood signifies perfect atonement, as it purges sin and grants access to God's presence.

The significance of Christ's blood in the context of the Day of Atonement is illustrated through the high priest's actions in the tabernacle. The blood of the slain goat was taken into the holiest of holies, symbolizing the entry into God's presence. Hebrews 9:12 underscores this importance, stating that Christ entered the holy place with His own blood, obtaining eternal redemption for us. His blood serves as the definitive sacrifice that satisfies God's justice and purges the conscience of believers. This means that through Christ's sacrifice, believers are made holy and can approach God without fear of condemnation. It affirms that their worship and offerings are accepted by God because they are made holy through Christ’s redemptive work.
