Why is the blood of Christ essential for atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The blood of Christ is essential for atonement because it perfectly satisfies God's justice.

The necessity of the blood of Christ for atonement is emphasized in Hebrews 9:22, which states that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. This signifies that the blood of Christ is not only a means of forgiveness but is integral to the redemptive work that fulfills the requirement for justice. Christ's sacrifice, as the eternal Lamb, paid the penalty for the sins of the elect once and for all, ensuring they are cleansed and justified before God.
