Why is the blood of Christ important in salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The blood of Christ is essential for salvation because it pays the penalty for sin and redeems believers.
The significance of Christ's blood in salvation cannot be overstated, as it represents the fulfillment of the sacrificial system that pointed to His ultimate sacrifice. In Leviticus 17:11, we learn that the life of the flesh is in the blood, indicating that blood is necessary for atonement. Christ's blood, being sinless and divine, is the perfect payment for the sins of His people. As stated in Hebrews 9:22, without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness; therefore, it is through His blood that we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins, and are made right with God (Ephesians 1:7).
